WFS: new offline cargo facility in Amsterdam
Worldwide Flight Services (WFS), the world’s largest air cargo handler, is to open a new offline cargo warehouse at Amsterdam, where Tiaca's first regional symposium is taking place today, 28 June 2022.
The new 3,000 sqm facility is the fourth WFS cargo terminal at Schiphol, taking the company’s overall footprint to 17,500 sqm and will be dedicated to handling offline cargoes.
The building has eight truck docks for loading and unloading and will open in August, adding to WFS’ capabilities to handle pharmaceuticals, perishables, AVI, valuable and dangerous goods shipments.
It will also adopt the latest operational systems, including the Cargokiosk system to expedite the handling of trucks making cargo deliveries and collections, and Cargospot Mobile to digitalise operational processes and provide ‘realtime’ shipment visibility. (cj)
