WFS lands new 3-year contract with Air China Cargo in Liège

Worldwide Flight Services (WFS), a SATS company, has won a three-year contract extension with Air China Cargo in Liège, supported by its reputation for fast and efficient handling of e-commerce shipments moving through the Belgian airport.

Under the new contract, WFS provides ramp handling and warehouse handling for cargo carried onboard Air China Cargo’s Boeing 777 and Airbus A330 weekly freighter flights into Liège from Chengdu, Hangzhou, and Shanghai. This includes buoyant inbound e-commerce volumes alongside high demand to move general cargo from Belgium to China.

WFS and Air China Cargo are both contributing significantly to the growth of Liège Airport, which reported a 16% year-on-year increase in volume in 2024. This success has continued into 2025, with the airport welcoming 6,772 cargo flights in Q1 – up 6.2% annually – as freight throughput rose 5.6%.

“Air China Cargo is a major customer of WFS across our international network. This new contract extension reflects our strong partnership with the airline in Liège, where WFS has made a significant commitment and investment in our facilities and e-commerce handling services to suit the specific requirements of Air China Cargo and other customers needing this expertise. We thank Air China Cargo for their continued trust in WFS,” said Marc Claesen, Senior Vice President Commercial EMEAA at WFS.

Air China Cargo is handled in WFS’ 12,000sqm facility at Liège Airport.
