Worldwide Flight Services (WFS), a SATS company, has signed a five-year agreement with GEODIS to manage its e-commerce and freight forwarder handling (EFFH) services at Brussels Airport. This contract solidifies an existing partnership between the two companies. Under the new terms, WFS will be responsible for GEODIS's freight consolidation and deconsolidation processes, operating around the clock. The services will also include specialized handling for pharmaceutical cargo and improved operational visibility.
For freight forwarders and operations managers, this development signals a continuation of stable ground handling services for GEODIS's air cargo at Brussels. The focus on 24/7 operations and specialized pharma handling indicates a commitment to efficiency and compliance for sensitive shipments. This could lead to more reliable transit times and better handling quality for forwarders utilizing GEODIS's services through BRU, particularly for time-critical or temperature-sensitive goods. The enhanced operational visibility may also assist forwarders in tracking their shipments more effectively.
