WFS' cargo handling operation at Boston-Logan airport doubles in size
CARGO handler Worldwide Flight Services (WFS) has signed contracts with Lufthansa, SAS and Swiss International Air Lines, that are expected to increase its throughput at Boston-Logan International Airport (BOS) by 55,000 tonnes per year. By comparison, WFS handled 24,000 tonnes of cargo in 2016.
In August, WFS secured a new building at Boston-Logan International Airport, doubling its cargo handling capacity at the airport, reported New York's Air Cargo World.
The cargo handler will serve Lufthansa's 21 flights per week connecting Boston with Frankfurt and Munich, using A330 and A340 aircraft. These frequencies will be reduced to 14 per week during the winter. WFS will also handle cargo for 14 flights per week between Boston and Zurich for Swiss International Air Lines.
Lufthansa and Swiss International Air Lines both signed five-year contracts with WFS at the airport, WFS said. SAS signed a three-year contract with WFS for handling its four 737-700 flights between Boston and Copenhagen. Lufthansa's contract with WFS is scheduled to begin in October.
Effective last month, WFS secured a lease for the new Cargo Building 62 in the airport's south cargo area from the Massachusetts Port Authority, increasing its operating area to include an extra 22,500 square feet of warehouse space and 26,000 sq ft of truck docking, equipment storage and office space.
