Worldwide Flight Services (WFS) Holland has completed its acquisition of Menzies World Cargo (Amsterdam) to increase its warehouse capacity to more than 50,000 sq m at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport (AMS).
The deal for the purchase of Menzies World Cargo (Amsterdam), part of Menzies Aviation’s general cargo handling operations at AMS, was signed in August 2024 and closed on 31 January.
At the time the acquisition deal was announced, SATS-owned WFS said that its operation at Schiphol was close to capacity.
WFS now serves over 120 airline and freight forwarder customers at AMS and the additional capacity provided by the takeover will help the ground handler manage further business growth.
“This expansion comes as WFS marks 20 years of cargo handling operations at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport. Our strong growth over this period is a tribute to the professionalism and support of the entire WFS team in Amsterdam, and the trust placed in us by our customers,” said John Batten, chief executive, Europe, Middle East, Africa, and Asia (EMEAA) at WFS.
He added: ”This acquisition reflects our strong commitment to the airport and its cargo community as well as our focus on providing the infrastructure and people capable of delivering high service standards for our customers and a platform for growth.
“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.”
