WORLDWIDE Flight Services (WFS) has announced that it is opening a new independent air cargo handling operation at Stockholm Arlanda Airport on June 1, to increase its presence in Scandinavia.
This follows the signing of a long-term agreement between the air cargo handling organisation and airport operator Swedavia.
The operation is located in a 3,000-square metre airside warehouse "fully equipped with all the features required to deliver a modern, fast and professional handling product," a company statement said.
The company's newest station will be connected to, and fully integrated with, its road feeder network that links all of its European stations, using dedicated truck services.
Martijn de Regt, who has over 20 years experience of working with the freight organisations Panalpina and ASP Logistics, will head up the new Stockholm operation. He will work closely with general manager for Scandinavia, Thomas Petersen.
"Copenhagen has been a great success story for WFS," said Marc Claesen, vice president for Northern Europe. "Opening a WFS operation at Stockholm Arlanda is a logical next step in our northern Europe development plans."
The company entered the Nordic air cargo market in 2006 with the opening of a newly-built cargo centre in Copenhagen. Since then, it has expanded its handling facility with 5,000 square metres of additional warehouse and office space and now handles 70,000 tons of flown, and trucked, cargo a year in Denmark for over 50 airlines.
