The proposed acquisition of Menzies Aviation’s general cargo handling operations at Schiphol will increase WFS’s warehouse capacity and cargo handling capabilities at the airport.
The additional warehouse will provide WFS with more capacity to capitalise on its strong customer relations and service levels, and cater for long-term growth.
John Batten, CEO Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asia (EMEAA) at WFS says that WFS has been present at Schiphol since 2000 and is operating close to its maximum capacity.
He said: “WFS operates in Europe’s five largest airports by cargo volume and we are excited to see WFS enlarge its footprint at a time of strong demand for its services. We are optimistic that the business pipeline will soon fill the newly acquired capacity and take WFS to the next stage of its growth. We look forward to welcoming new colleagues from Menzies to help build for the future together.”
The proposed acquisition is subject to conditions including local works council consultation.
