Worldwide Flight Services (WFS) has signed a multi-year contract with Emirates SkyCargo to provide cargo handling services at Miami International Airport (MIA).
The three-year contract, which also includes ramp and mail services, is effective 14 July.
WFS will handle Emirates’ freighter operations at MIA. The Dubai-based airline operates Boeing 777 and 747 freighter aircraft to service the Miami route from its cargo handling facility at Building 702.
The partnership extends Emirates SkyCargo’s existing relationship with WFS across North America, where the cargo handling service provider already supports the carrier’s operations at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA), John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH), Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD), and Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW).
“WFS is honored to expand our partnership with Emirates SkyCargo to include Miami, a strategic gateway connecting North America with Latin America and the Caribbean. This selection reinforces our commitment to delivering exceptional service quality and operational reliability that supports Emirates SkyCargo’s global cargo network,” said José Canales, senior vice president, commercial & business development, Americas at SATS-owned WFS.
WFS won a five-year contract with Emirates SkyCargo earlier this year to handle its freight operations at Frankfurt Airport in Germany.
