WFS wins ground-handling contracts at five Aena airports in Spain
WORLDWIDE Flight Services (WFS) has been awarded seven-year, ground handling licences to operate at airports in Madrid, Seville, Santiago, Oviedo and Vitoria.
The Paris-based ground handler expects to commence full passenger and ramp services in Madrid, alongside its existing cargo business, and Seville in October in addition to continuing its cargo operations in Barcelona and Valencia.
Santiago and Oviedo will join the WFS network in November along with Vitoria. In Vitoria, the company will provide full ramp handling for freighters only, a statement said.
Said WFS vice president Pablo Garcia: "Winning these new licences will see the biggest growth in our ground handling operations in Europe since our company was founded in 1971."
The company plans to double in size in the next few years through strategic acquisitions in key markets, partnerships and organic growth opportunities under the new ownership of Platinum Equity, a global investment firm with US$6 billion of assets under management.
