SriLankan Airlines has become the first new customer at Worldwide Flight Services’ (WFS) "Centerpoint" cargo handling terminal at London Heathrow.
The airline has awarded WFS with a 32-month contract, commencing in September, to provide cargo handling and airside transport for its A330-300 flights connecting London and Colombo. SriLankan currently operates a weekly flight on the route but is expected to increase frequencies.
Prior to the pandemic, the airline carried some 9,500 t of cargo annually between the two countries. WFS now operates over 32,500 sqm of cargo facilities at LHR, handling hundreds of thousands of tonnes of cargo per annum. The building incorporates a mezzanine floor suitable for handling ecommerce, mail and courier shipments in addition to 2,800 sqm of ground floor space. (ah)
