Mar 27, 2018 (newstodate): Cathay Pacific has selected WFS for cargo handling at Copenhagen Airport - a new destination from this summer.
The Hong Kong carrier will start four weekly operations from Hong Kong to Brussels already this week, followed by the launch of seasonal services to Copenhagen by May 2, 2018, offering three weekly rotations with Airbus A350-900 aircraft - and WFS will be the cargo handling partner at both new destinations.
While Brussels was the first WFS cargo station in Europe to achieve IATA CEIV Pharma certification, the certification process of WFS at Copenhagen Airport is still pending.
On December 13, 2017, WFS Denmark opened its new Pharma Handling Facility within its cargo terminal at Copenhagen Airport, at the same time unveiling its ambitions to become CEIV certified as well.
-The investment is in support of WFS' airline customers' growing pharma volumes and WFS' own IATA CEIV Pharma certification programme in Denmark, which it expects to complete in early 2018, the WFS release read.
IATA later refuted WFS' claims that the WFS CEIV process was indeed already close to completion at Copenhagen Airport.
-As of today, WFS has not even applied for CEIV Pharma certification at Copenhagen Airport, IATA told newstodate in an email on February 13, 2018.
