This latest investment is in support of WFS’ airline customers’ growing pharma volumes and its own IATA CEIV Pharma certification programme in Denmark, which it expects to complete in early 2018.
The new facility has the capacity to store up to 16 cargo units and offers separate temperature chambers offering both 2–8°C and 15–25°C environments. Additionally, each lane in the building is equipped with an electronic rollerbed system, which will expedite handling of pharma shipments.
Furthermore, the company has announced that it has won the cargo handling contravct for Air India’s new three times weekly Boeing 787 passenger and cargo services linking the country’s capital city with Delhi.
“We are delighted to be handling cargo carried onboard Air India’s new non-stop services between Denmark and India, which offers a direct trade link for exporters and importers in both countries,” reported Jimi Daniel Hansen, WFS’ general manager Scandinavia. “WFS is also progressing towards its IATA CEIV certification in Denmark with the opening of our new cooler facility to supports our customers’ premium cargo products for temperature-sensitive pharma shipments.”
