WFS expands EFFH services with new warehouse at Copenhagen Airport
The new EFFH facility spans 4,800m², increasing WFS’s total cargo handling footprint at Copenhagen Airport to over 21,500m².
Worldwide Flight Services (WFS), a SATS company, has launched its fourth warehouse at Copenhagen Airport to expand its specialised e-commerce & freight forwarder handling (EFFH) services across Scandinavia, according to an official release from WFS.
The new EFFH facility spans 4,800m², increasing WFS’s total cargo handling footprint at Copenhagen Airport to over 21,500m², which also includes its dedicated temperature-controlled pharma centre. This latest investment enables WFS to offer a wide range of value-added services for freight forwarders handling import, export, and e-commerce shipments through the airport.
“This is the latest expansion of our presence at Copenhagen Airport to support its growing cargo volumes and thriving freight forwarding community. We know from WFS’ experience at other major cargo gateways that forwarders are increasingly seeing value in outsourcing more of the physical handling aspects of their business to trusted partners like WFS,” says Inge Briand de Crevecoeur, Managing Director, Copenhagen at WFS.
WFS’ EFFH service makes freight ready-for-carriage, captures weight and cargo measurements, provides security screening, consolidation, and transportation to and from handling agents. It also covers deconsolidation, sorting, and preparing shipments for customs clearance, and onward transportation by road, plus shipment labelling, repacking, crating, and customised screening services.
WFS’s e-commerce solutions reduce total transit time by one day for international shipments bound for Scandinavian customers, thanks to rapid import sorting and scanning that accelerates customs clearance, the release added.
“Our expansion in Copenhagen aligns perfectly with our strategy to grow our e-commerce and freight forwarder handling product across our network,” says Marc Claesen, SVP Northern Europe & Africa at WFS. “We are diversifying our services in an increasingly challenging environment, where speed of handling and real-time information sharing are critical. Copenhagen joins our dedicated e-commerce & freight forwarder handling facilities in key European gateways such as Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Germany, Spain, and Sweden, and we will continue to seek new opportunities.”
