China Airlines Extends Cargo Handling Contract with FCS
(12/08/24)
China Airlines has extended its partnership with
Frankfurt Cargo Services (FCS) by sighing a new multi-year
cargo handling contract for Frankfurt Airport, one of Europe’s
largest cargo airports.
The two companies have been working together since
2000, when China Airlines signed its
first cargo handling agreement with FCS, a subsidiary of Worldwide Flight Services (WFS), part of the SATS Group.
Today, FCS helps the airline transport
approximately 25,000 tons of cargo annually on Boeing 777 flights
connecting Frankfurt and Taipei.

“Over two decades, we have established a strong
collaboration and partnership with China Airlines and its team in
Germany,” said Claus Wagner, Managing Director of FCS. “We are proud of the reliable flight operations we jointly deliver and appreciative of the airline’s long-term commitment to
FCS. Our success in winning this most recent tender in a very
competitive commercial environment is driven by our constant focus
on providing high quality service levels and competitive
advantages for China Airlines and its customers.”
With a 48,000 sqm warehouse
offering direct access to the airport apron, FCS serves around 50 international airline customers and handles about 600,000 tons
of cargo per annum, including growing volumes of temperature-controlled pharma shipments in its dedicated Good Distribution Practice (GDP)
and IATA CEIV Pharma-certified facility.
FCS also provides
solutions for e-commerce and bespoke handling as well as storage for vulnerable cargo and
dangerous goods shipments,
including radioactive material.
The new contract is effective this month and further extends
the Taiwanese carrier’s partnership with WFS, who also provides
cargo handling for the airline in Belgium, Denmark, France,
Germany, India, Ireland, North America, Spain, Thailand and the
United Kingdom.
