Cargo handling in Chicago, New York and Washington
Worldwide Flight Services (WFS), a member of the Sats Group, has been appointed as Etihad Cargo's handling partner in the whole US territory, including Chicago (ORD), New York (JFK) and Washington (IAD).
The cargo and logistics arm of Etihad Airways, the flag carrier of the UAE, intends to enhance its capabilities in North America. Among the handling facilities it will utilise at ORD are two dedicated parking positions conveniently located directly outside WFS' cargo warehouse and the cargo handling agent's new ORD airport facility, which features temperature-controlled storage rooms.
This facility is equipped with a large cool room providing the capacity for eight pallets, which will bolster the region's end-to-end cool chain capabilities provided by the Iata Ceiv pharma-certified carrier. (ah)
