SAS selects WFS for Boston cargo handling
Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) has selected Worldwide Flight Services (WFS) to provide cargo handling services at Boston Logan International Airport.
The three-year agreement covers the airline’s daily A350 flights between Boston and Copenhagen.
WFS said it expects to handle more than 8,000 tonnes per year as part of the contract, including high volumes of perishables.
Boston joins Los Angeles, New York JFK, and San Francisco as airports in the US where WFS and SAS have partnered.
Timothy Coggswell, vice president cargo – north east region at WFS, said: “Boston is a prime airport gateway for WFS and SAS in North America. Our ability to provide the airline with the high service standards it expects for its customers, alongside the reputation we have built working with SAS at other major US airports, have earned us this new opportunity to extend our partnership.”
WFS said it had opened its operation at the airport in 2010 and now operates two cargo terminals there, offering over 70,000 sq ft feet of cargo handing space.
The two facilities process more than 57,000 tonnes of cargo annually for WFS’ 14 airline customers in Boston.
