Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) has awarded a new three-year contract to Worldwide Flight Services (WFS) for cargo handling at Boston Logan International Airport.

Boston now joins Los Angeles, New York JFK, and San Francisco as airports in the US where WFS and SAS have partnered for cargo handling.

The new agreement will see WFS, a member of SATS Group, handle cargo onboard SAS flights to and from Boston, with the airline now offering daily Airbus A350 flights between the New England city and the Danish capital, Copenhagen.

Timothy Coggswell, vice president cargo – North East Region at WFS, said: “Boston is a prime airport gateway for WFS and SAS in North America. Our ability to provide the airline with the high service standards it expects for its customers, alongside the reputation we have built working with SAS at other major US airports have earned us this new opportunity to extend our partnership.”

WFS opened its operation in Boston in 2010 and now operates two cargo terminals at the city’s Logan International Airport, offering over 70,000 sqft of cargo handling space.

The two facilities process more than 57,000 tonnes of cargo annually for WFS’ 14 airline customers in Boston.
