Singapore Airlines has extended its cargo partnership with Worldwide Flight Services (WFS) in the United Kingdom with a new contract for domestic trucking services connecting 18 regional offline airports.
“WFS is delighted to extend its partnership with Singapore Airlines in the UK to include the airline’s regional transport requirements. The airline is already a major customer of our UK operations. This new contract will enable us to support Singapore Airlines’ continued growth in the UK market by giving customers across the country fast and seamless access to its wide choice of passenger and freighter flights,” said Jennifer Smith, WFS’ UK Commercial Director – Cargo & Ground Handling.
WFS has provided cargo handling for the airline in the UK since 2015 in support of its passenger and freight services from London Heathrow and Manchester airports, including trucking services between the two airports, as well as offline handling across all of WFS’ other UK stations. WFS now handles over 45,000 tonnes per annum for Singapore Airlines, which currently operates 30 flights a week ex Heathrow and seven weekly services from Manchester using a combination of Airbus A350 and A380 and Boeing 777 and 747F aircraft.
With the new domestic trucking contract award, Singapore Airlines will now access WFS’s 600 road transport services per week, serving 18 other UK regional airports. WFS services every airport with overnight services 5-7 days a week.
WFS has recently invested in expanding its UK transport fleet to 28 tractor units and 31 trailers to support the 50,000 tonnes its moves annually by road in the UK. The comprehensive fleet includes Q7 curtain-sided and Q6 refrigerated units and rollerbed temperature-controlled trailers with state-of-the-art ‘Carrier Vector 1950’ temperature management units.
