Worldwide Flight Services (WFS), a SATS company, is set to open a fourth warehouse at Copenhagen Airport in Denmark to support the growth of its specialised E-commerce & Freight Forwarder Handling (EFFH) services in Scandinavia.
Starting from 1 March 2025, WFS will also assume the existing customer portfolio of Wallenborn Outsourcing in Copenhagen, acquired from Wallenborn Transports, a leading European air-cargo road feeder services (RFS) operator.
Initially, EFFH services will be managed from a 2,500m² facility at Kystvejen 24. By next summer, operations will transition to a newly refurbished 4,800m² warehouse at Kystvejen 28, enhancing WFS’ capacity and service offerings.
Since establishing its first warehouse in 2006, WFS has added two purpose-built facilities and a GDP-certified pharma facility to support Greater Copenhagen’s life sciences cluster. Currently, it provides handling services to over 50 airline customers at the airport.
Peter Nygaard, Wallenborn MD Scandinavia, stated: “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. A huge thank you to our amazing team, loyal customers, and partners for their support over the years. A special thank you to Henrik Melbye for his invaluable support and contributions throughout our journey. We’re excited about the future and the opportunities ahead.”
The launch of EFFH services in Copenhagen will further expand WFS’ value-added service offerings, with additional solutions planned in the future. WFS already provides EFFH services at eight other airport locations, including Amsterdam, Brussels, Dublin, Liège, London Heathrow, Madrid, Paris CDG, and Stockholm Arlanda.
Jimi Daniel Hansen, WFS’ Interim Managing Director Denmark & Senior Vice President of Operational Excellence, commented: “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.”
