Worldwide Flight Services (WFS) is to open a fourth warehouse facility at Copenhagen Airport to support the expansion of its specialised E-commerce & Freight Forwarder Handling (EFFH) services in Scandinavia.
WFS has also announced that from March 1, 2025, it will take over the existing customer portfolio from Wallenborn Outsourcing in Copenhagen from Wallenborn Transports, one of Europe’s largest air-cargo road feeder services (RFS) operators.
The EFFH services will initially be managed at the Danish airport in a 2,500 sqm facility located at Kystvejen 24 and, from next summer, move into the newly-refurbished 4,800 sqm warehouse at Kystvejen 28.
WFS says the new facility reinforces its commitment to customers in Copenhagen and its position as the airport’s largest air cargo handling provider.
Since opening its first warehouse operation in 2006, WFS has added two further purpose-built facilities and a dedicated GDP-certified pharma facility to support the cluster of life science companies in the Greater Copenhagen area. It now provides handling services for over 50 airline customers in Copenhagen.
WFS says the launch of EFFH services in Copenhagen will expand its operations to include value-added solutions, with more services to be added at a later date.
Peter Nygaard, Wallenborn managing director Scandinavia, said: “We’re excited to announce the sale of Wallenborn Outsourcing, which we founded back in 2016, to WFS. This marks a significant step for our concept and sets the stage for even more growth in the Danish logistics space. WFS shares our vision for developing the outsourcing concept, and we’re confident that WFS will unlock new opportunities and drive innovation.”
Jimi Daniel Hansen, WFS’ interim managing director for Denmark and senior vice president of operational excellence, said: “Our large customer base in Copenhagen and the wider freight forwarding community in Denmark present significant opportunities to establish and grow WFS’ E-commerce & Freight Forwarder Handling services.
“We expect a high level of further interest from other existing and new customers looking to outsource these types of services to an experienced partner with a proven track record of delivering EFFH solutions at major airports.”
WFS currently offers EFFH services to customers at eight other airport stations in Amsterdam, Brussels, Dublin, Liege, London Heathrow, Madrid, Paris CDG, and Stockholm Arlanda.
