WFS to handle DSV in Liege
[ May 10, 2023 // Chris Lewis ]WFS, now a member of the SATS Group and the world’s largest cargo handler, already provides air logistics services for DSV in Amsterdam and at Huntsville International Airport in Alabama. Further network collaboration is under review at other WFS stations globally.
WFS will resource and operate DSV’s hub facility in Liege, providing warehouse handling of cargo carried onboard DSV’s all-cargo charters and commercial freighter services by multiple airline partners used by DSV across the company’s extensive global charter network.
The Liege Gateway consolidates and deconsolidates cargo for all European DSV entities to and from the company’s 15 most used trade lanes, including Hong Kong, Johannesburg, Dubai, and New York JFK.
The hub will also be developed for special cargoes, including pharmaceuticals and perishables. The Liege operation will complement the DSV Gateway hub in Luxembourg and sees WFS take responsibility for import and export cargoes using capacity booked by DSV through Liege and on flights connecting through other surrounding airports.
In Liege WFS operates 25.000m² of warehouse space, split over 2 facilities, and handles approximately 200,000 tonnes of cargo annually. As well as DSV, WFS’ clients at the Belgian airport also include other fast-growing airlines and logistics companies such as Air China Cargo, Air Canada, China Eastern Airlines, Silk Way West, Cainiao, Rich Sale Logistics, TOLEAD, and Hongyuan.
