Nov 4, 2008 (newstodate): Several factors combined to bring about the decision by Singapore Airlines Cargo to shift cargo handling in the Nordic region from long-term provider SAS Cargo/Spirit, to WFS.
-First, it is company policy to continously monitor the market for the best solution to our requirements. And WFS did produce the most cost-efficient offer, says Kim Irmov, Singapore Airlines Cargo regional manager Nordic and Baltic region.
-In addition to this we will also benefit from the perfect match between our and WFS' IT-systems as we both build on Softair AG's Cargospot. This will facilitate the addition of a range of new services that could not otherwise be easily realised.
-Finally, it will be no disadvantage that the WFS Denmark station manager, Thomas Petersen, was formerly Singapore Airlines Cargo operations manager in Denmark for many years. He is well-accustomed with our procedures, and while it will of course require some efforts to switch over I trust that the process will work smoothly, says Mr Irmov.
The cut-over date from Spirit to WFS is February 1, 2009.
