Worldwide Flight Services (WFS) has won a three-year ground handling contract from Turkish Airlines for a range of services at Denver International Airport in Colorado.

WFS will provide the airline with ramp handling, aircraft pushback, baggage handling, cargo loading/unloading, airside cargo transportation to and from the aircraft, and cabin cleaning.

The contract aligns with the launch of Turkish Airlines’ 14th destination in the US. The flag carrier of Turkey began operations to Denver in June 2024 with three weekly flights, increasing to four weekly flights in July, using Boeing 777 and Airbus A350 airliners between Istanbul and Denver.

Paul Walton, senior vice president of ground handling for the Americas at WFS, said: “Denver is an important and growing market, which is attracting more international and domestic airline operators.

“WFS is benefiting from this growth and, as an established provider of high-quality ground handling services at the airport for over 30 years, becoming first choice handling partner for airlines starting flights to Colorado’s capital city. We are proud to welcome Turkish Airlines to WFS in Denver,” said

WFS already provides ground handling services for Turkish Airlines in Chicago and now provides ground handling for 21 airlines in Denver, managing over 9,000 aircraft turns annually.
