Worldwide Flight Services (WFS) has won a three-year contract extension to handle cargo for Air China Cargo at Liège Airport in Belgium.
Under the new contract, WFS provides ramp handling and warehouse handling for cargo carried onboard Air China Cargo’s Boeing 777 and Airbus A330 weekly freighter flights into Liège from Chengdu, Hangzhou, and Shanghai.
Volumes include inbound e-commerce alongside general cargo from Belgium to China. Air China Cargo's air cargo shipments are handled in WFS’ 12,000 sq m facility at Liège.
The contract extension comes as Liege experiences continued high demand. The airport reported a 16% year-on-year increase in volume in 2024.
Liege further recorded 6,772 cargo flights in the first quarter of 2025 – up 6.2% annually - as freight throughput rose 5.6%.
Marc Claesen, senior vice president commercial EMEAA at SATS-owned WFS, said: “Air China Cargo is a major customer of WFS across our international network. This new contract extension reflects our strong partnership with the airline in Liège, where WFS has made a significant commitment and investment in our facilities and e-commerce handling services to suit the specific requirements of Air China Cargo and other customers needing this expertise. We thank Air China Cargo for their continued trust in WFS."
Last month, WFS signed a multi-year contract with Emirates SkyCargo to provide cargo handling services at Miami International Airport (MIA).
This month, Turkish Airlines also awarded WFS a three-year cargo and ground handling contract at MIA and John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK).
