WFS wins baggage handling contract for Air France in Paris

Worldwide Flight Services has won a three-year contract to provide baggage handling services for Air France at Paris Charles de Gaulle airport.

The contract commences this October. The agreement covers the biggest part of the baggage flow process at the airline’s Terminal 2 hub and will see the WFS ground handling team processing tens of millions of passenger bags each year.

Air France has also extended its existing baggage contract with WFS at Roissy for another two years, to the fourth quarter of 2021. The agreement was first awarded to WFS 20 years ago.

On behalf of Air France, WFS is responsible for handling in the baggage sorting area, preparing baggage for the airline’s flights, delivery to the aircraft, and managing connecting bags at Paris.

Will Facey, EVP Ground Handling Europe Middle East Africa & Asia at WFS, commented: “These new contracts with Air France reflect the confidence our major customers at CDG have in our people and the service levels they consistently deliver as well as our ability to manage such a complex bag flow at a major hub airport.”
