    Worldwide Flight Services (WFS) has renewed contracts with Air France KLM Martinair Cargo across major airport gateways in North America. The multi-year contract extensions will take WFS’ cargo partnership with Air France KLM Martinair Cargo in the U.S. market to over 20 years.

    Air France KLM Martinair Cargo has renewed contracts to WFS at Chicago, Dallas-Fort Worth, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, New York JFK, and Washington Dulles airports, which includes freighter services in Miami.

    These contracts solidify WFS’ strong partnership with Air France KLM in North America, which includes full passenger, ramp and cargo handling services in Austin, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and Newark.

    Jean-Noel Rault, Director Cargo North America at Air France KLM Martinair Cargo, commented: “We are thrilled to further enhance our partnership with Worldwide Flight Services (WFS), our Ground Handler Agent across various stations in the United States. With an additional collaboration on SAF (an alternative aviation fuel), we continue our mutual efforts to reduce our carbon footprint. We commend the WFS Group for their leadership in environmental responsibility, and we are excited to elevate our historic partnership. Together, we are proudly working towards a more eco-friendly future for the logistics and airfreight industry”.

    “It is only possible to build an enduring and growing partnership with a leading global customer like Air France-KLM Cargo when you deliver consistent performance, strong collaboration, and a commitment to excellence in operational efficiency and innovation,” said Frank Clemente, Senior Vice President, Cargo for WFS in North America. “We understand their specific operational requirements and our strategic network spanning major gateways around the world provides Air-France-KLM Cargo with a reliable and efficient network and consistent, high-quality service delivery.
