Cargo Breaking News
An agreement has been signed by DSV and Worldwide Flight Services (WFS) for a long-term European Gateway cargo handling contract for Liege Airport in Belgium. This latest agreement adds to a growing partnership between WFS, which was acquired by the SATS Group in April this year, and DSV. WFS also provides air logistics services for DSV in Amsterdam and at Huntsville International Airport in Alabama in the US. “Further network collaboration is under review”, WFS opined positively. WFS is resourcing and operating DSV’s hub facility in Liege, providing warehouse handling of cargo carried onboard the all-cargo charters and commercial freighter services that are operated by various airline partners of DSV. The DSV Liege Gateway consolidates and deconsolidates cargo for all European DSV businesses moving cargo along the company’s most frequently used trade lanes, including to/from Hong Kong, Johannesburg, Dubai and New York JFK.
WFS operates 25,000 sq m of warehouse space, split over two facilities, and handles approximately 200,000 tonnes of cargo a year at Liege. WFS has direct airside access and also operates ramp services at Liege.
Further development
As well as handling general cargo, the hub will be developed for special cargo types, including pharmaceuticals and perishables, which WFS is already equipped to support.
