Worldwide Flight Services (WFS) has increased its facility footprint at London’s Heathrow Airport after a 30 percent growth in volumes in the past year.
WFS has signed a five-year lease on Building 578 in the airport’s cargo area, boosting its warehouse and office space by a further 27,000 sq. ft. The additional building, due to commence operations in October, features eight landside doors for cargo deliveries and collections, and a 20-foot truck dock. As well as caster deck storage for loaded pallets and containers, WFS also plans to install a 7,000 sq. ft. area for ambient shipments and dedicated storage for temperature-controlled cargoes requiring a 2–8°C environment.
Once the new facility opens, WFS will increase its total cargo handling space at the airport to nearly 350,000 sq. ft. This latest expansion is designed to support existing airline customers — including new contracts gained in the past 12 months with Sri Lankan Airlines, Gulf Air and All Nippon Airways. The additional building will also provide growth capacity.
