MASkargo, the cargo arm of Malaysia Airlines, has resumed its cargo handling partnership with Worldwide Flight Services (WFS) in Paris to support returning daily flights to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport.

Malaysia Airlines will start operating daily Airbus A350-900 passenger and cargo services in April connecting Paris and Kuala Lumpur, extending its global route network to 68 destinations.

The two companies previously partnered in the French capital until Malaysia Airlines withdrew from the route in January 2016.

This latest expansion follows the arrival of additional wide-bodied aircraft to Malaysia Airlines’ fleet.

As well as cargo handling in Paris, WFS’s latest contract with Malaysia Airlines also covers operations at its provincial airport locations across France, including Lille, Lyon, Marseille, Nantes, and Strasbourg.

Laurent Bernard, managing director of France at WFS, said: “It is very pleasing to see Malaysia Airlines’ aircraft back at Paris CDG and we are delighted to be resuming our partnership with the airline.

“We look forward to supporting the growth of its cargo business between France and Kuala Lumpur, and the onward connections Malaysia Airlines offers across Asia.”

Across its global networking spanning over 215 stations in 27 countries, WFS also provides handling services for Malaysia Airlines in Copenhagen, Bengaluru, and Bangkok.
