WFS takes home global ground handling accolade

Worldwide Flight Services (WFS) was named International Ground Handler of the year at the Stat Media Times awards held in Mumbai recently. The nominated cargo handling company for the Dube Tradeport Cargo Terminal, WFS picked up its first award last year when it was named runner up in the Africa cargo handling category. The company’s African operations began with the opening of the new King Shaka International Airport on May 1, 2010. Senior vice president for Africa, Alex McRoberts, sees the award as welcome recognition of the company’s achievements globally. The awards are aimed at a number of larger global handling companies as well as local handlers. The winners are chosen by online surveys completed by global airlines, freight forwarders, agents and airports authorities.
