A new partnership in Boston
Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) has awarded a cargo handling contract to Worldwide Flight Services (WFS) at another major airport gateway in North America. The new three-year agreement will see WFS, a member of Sats Group, handle cargo onboard SAS flights to and from Boston.
The airline now offers daily Airbus A350 flights between the New England city and the Danish capital, Copenhagen. WFS expects to handle over 8 million kg of cargo a year on SAS’s Boston operations, including high volumes of perishables. WFS and SAS are already in partnership in Los Angeles, New York JFK, and San Francisco; Boston is thus the fourth US airport to be added to their network.
WFS opened its operation in Boston in 2010 and now operates two cargo terminals at the city’s Logan International Airport, offering over 6,503 sqm of cargo handing space. The two facilities process more than 57,000 t of cargo annually for WFS’ 14 airline customers in Boston. (cj)
