Cathay Pacific, Ethiopian Airlines and Allegiant Air have awarded new ground handling contracts to Worldwide Flight Services (WFS) in North America.
At Newark Liberty International Airport, Cathay Pacific has extended its passenger handling agreement of the past five years to now also include ramp, cabin cleaning and de-icing services for its daily Boeing 777-300 flights to Hong Kong.
Under previously won contracts, WFS also provides full handling services for Cathay Pacific in Seattle.
WFS now also provides ramp, passenger services and aircraft de-icing for Ethiopian Airlines under a new three-year contract awarded at Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport. Ethiopian serves the airport with three-times weekly Boeing 787 services to Lomé and Addis Ababa. WFS also provides ground handling services for the airline at New York JFK and Chicago.
Last month, WFS also commenced its latest Above and Below Wing ground handling contract with Allegiant Air. The three-year agreement will see WFS providing services for some 400 Airbus A319/320 flights a year at Baltimore/Washington serving Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport in Georgia, Ashville Regional Airport in North Carolina, and Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport in Florida.
