Frankfurt Cargo Services (FCS) has earned a new multi-year cargo handling contract with China Airlines, extending their partnership at Frankfurt Airport, Germany’s biggest air cargo gateway, to over 25 years.
China Airlines signed its first cargo handling agreement in 2000 with FCS, a subsidiary of Worldwide Flight Services (WFS), part of the SATS Group. Today, it is the most longstanding FCS airline customer, transporting some 25,000 tons of cargo annually on its Boeing 777 flights connecting Frankfurt and Taipei.
The new contract commences in August 2024. It also further extends China Airlines’ partnership with WFS, which provides cargo handling for the airline in Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Spain, and the United Kingdom, as well as in India, Thailand, and North America.
“Over two decades, we have established a strong collaboration and partnership with China Airlines and its team in Germany. We are proud of the reliable flight operations we jointly deliver and appreciative of the airline’s long-term commitment to FCS. Our success in winning this most recent tender in a very competitive commercial environment is driven by our constant focus on providing high-quality service levels and competitive advantages for China Airlines and its customers,” said Claus Wagner, Managing Director of FCS.
FCS is the largest airline-independent cargo handler at Frankfurt Airport, Europe’s largest cargo airport. With a 48,000 square metres warehouse offering direct access to the airport apron, FCS serves some 50 international airline customers and handles about 600,000 tons per annum. This includes growing volumes of temperature-controlled pharma shipments in its dedicated Good Distribution Practice (GDP) and IATA CEIV Pharma-certified facility.
FCS also provides solutions for e-commerce handling and special handling as well as storage for vulnerable cargo and Dangerous Goods shipments, including radioactive material.
