Finnair — one of the largest air cargo carriers in Northern Europe — has appointed Worldwide Flight Services (WFS), a member of the SATS Group, to provide cargo warehouse handling at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, domestic trucking services and cargo reception points across France.

The airline operates 28 wide- and narrow-bodied passenger flights per week, connecting the French capital with Helsinki.

In the announcement, WFS said in addition to general cargoes, its full-service offering for Finnair in France will support the airline's shipments of temperature-sensitive pharma cargoes, perishables and frozen shipments, valuable and vulnerable products, as well as dangerous goods.

"We are proud to welcome Finnair as a new customer of WFS in France. The airline and its customers will benefit from our ability to support the transportation of all suitable air cargo products," said Laurent Bernard, VP of Cargo France at WFS.

"We look forward to supporting the growth and quality of Finnair’s cargo services on this important route between Helsinki and Paris and its ability to provide a solution covering the whole of France," he added.
