SAS, WFS sign cargo handling deal for Boston
WFS expects to handle over eight million kilograms of cargo a year on SAS’s Boston operations
Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) has awarded a cargo handling contract to Worldwide Flight Services (WFS), a member of SATS Group, to and from Boston.
The airline now offers daily Airbus A350 flights between the New England city and the Danish capital Copenhagen, says an official release from WFS.
WFS expects to handle over eight million kilograms of cargo a year on SAS’s Boston operations, including high volumes of perishables. Boston now joins Los Angeles, New York JFK and San Francisco as airports in the U.S. where WFS and SAS have partnered together, the release added.
“Boston is a prime airport gateway for WFS and SAS in North America," says Timothy Coggswell, VP Cargo – North East Region, WFS. "Our ability to provide the airline with the high service standards it expects for its customers, alongside the reputation we have built working with SAS at other major U.S. airports, have earned us this new opportunity to extend our partnership."
WFS opened its operation in Boston in 2010 and now operates two cargo terminals at the city’s Logan International Airport, offering over 70,000 square feet of cargo handling space. The two facilities process more than 57,000 tonnes of cargo annually for WFS’ 14 airline customers in Boston, the release added.
