Vietnam Airlines selects BFS in Bangkok
Vietnam Airlines has appointed Bangkok Flight Services (BFS), the joint venture subsidiary of Worldwide Flight Services (WFS) in Thailand, as its new cargo handler at Suvarnabhumi Airport.
BFS, which was awarded the contract following a tender process initiated by the airline, will handle approximately 12,000 t of cargo per annum for Vietnam Airlines, which operates Airbus A321, A350 and Boeing 787 flights ex Bangkok to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
Vietnam Airlines currently operates between five and seven passenger freighter flights per week between the two countries. The schedule is expected to increase once Covid quarantine rules are lifted in Thailand and Vietnam, also providing additional capacity for the high cargo volumes traditionally carried on the route.
