Worldwide Flight Services (WFS), a SATS company, has announced the completion of the acquisition of part of Menzies Aviation’s cargo handling operations at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport.

The announcement noted that the purchase, signed in August 2024, closed on January 31, 2025, following the completion of the necessary conditions of the transaction, including local works council consultation.

The move increases WFS’ warehouse capacity to more than 50,000 square metres at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport, where WFS now serves over 120 airline and freight forwarder customers.

"WFS Holland B.V. (WFS) has completed its acquisition of Menzies World Cargo (Amsterdam) B.V., part of Menzies Aviation’s General Cargo Handling Operations at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport (AMS), the main international airport in the Netherlands," the announcement said.

It was noted that the additional cargo capacity will support the continuation of WFS's high service levels in Amsterdam and provide space for future growth.

This expansion comes as WFS marks 20 years of cargo handling operations at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport.

"The Menzies World Cargo employees joining us as part of this acquisition are a welcome addition to our team and will help us ensure WFS continues to play a key role in the growth of Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport as one of Europe’s Premier Air Cargo Gateways," said John Batten, chief executive officer, Europe, Middle East, Africa, and Asia (EMEAA) at WFS.
