DHL Aviation has extended its 14-year
relationship with Worldwide Flight Services (WFS), a member of the
SATS Group, by signing a new multi-year contract for WFS to manage freight at its airport stations in France.
DHL’s CDG hub plays a key role in the company’s air
logistics strategy and provides
air links with other DHL hub locations within and
outside Europe, such as Leipzig and Brussels airports, as well as
Casablanca, Morocco.

“We are proud to give continuity to an operational
and business partnership that has worked well for years and with
mutual satisfaction,” said Filippo Capogreco, VP DHL Aviation. “We would like to thank John Batten (CEO EMEAA
at WFS) and his entire workgroup of professionals for the quality
work done so far and even more for the better work we will do in
the future.”
WFS also manages onboard truck freight
services for the CDG Hub from Leipzig and Brussels, as well as
freight reception points for DHL Aviation throughout France,
including Orly, Bordeaux, Lille, Lyon, Marseille, Nantes,
Strasbourg, Toulouse, Basle-Mulhouse and Nice.
“DHL is a significant customer of WFS in Paris and across our
network in France. We have a strong partnership and this extension
to our warehouse contract clearly shows our service performance
satisfies DHL’s high standards,” said Laurent Bernard, VP Cargo
France at WFS. “Maintaining this contract is very
important to our business in France and helps to demonstrate WFS’
capabilities to DHL for wider partnership growth across our global
network in the future.”
