The new agreement builds upon the companies’ extensive collaboration across key international markets and underscores the importance of WFS\u2019 role in supporting Emirates’ operations with WFS’ secure and efficient cargo handling services.<\/p>\n

Frankfurt Airport, as one of Europe’s busiest cargo hubs, serves as a critical gateway in Emirates’ European network, with the freight division offering a weekly cargo capacity of over 1,400 tonnes.<\/p>\n

John Batten, chief executive of gateway services, Europe, Middle East, Africa & Asia (EMEAA) at WFS, said: “At Frankfurt Airport, our team is focused on implementing the operational excellence and specialised handling capabilities that Emirates requires. Our significant investment in pharmaceutical handling capabilities at Frankfurt, combined with our proven expertise in managing time-sensitive cargo, positions us to deliver the efficient, secure, and reliable services that Emirates and their customers expect at this important European hub.”<\/p>\n

Robert Fordree, Emirates SkyCargo\u2019s senior vice president of operations worldwide, said: \u201cWith six scheduled freighters and 21 passenger flights per week, Frankfurt is an anchor of our European network. As one of the world\u2019s most important financial hubs, we move significant volume in and out the market, including specialist products such as pharmaceuticals, automobiles and machinery.<\/p>\n

“By expanding our global partnership with WFS<\/a> to Frankfurt, we will enhance our existing operations and ensure we can deliver goods quickly, reliably and efficiently, strengthening trade links between Germany\u2019s vibrant business community and the wider world.\u201d<\/p>\n

WFS says this contract win further solidifies its growing presence in the crucial European air cargo market and demonstrates its commitment to providing specialised handling solutions for leading global airlines like Emirates.<\/p>\n
