Worldwide Flight Services (WFS)
About
Established in 1983, Worldwide Flight Services (WFS) is a leading independent provider of airport services. American Airlines formed AMR Services Corporation to outsource its ramp, passenger, and terminal services. As a part of a divestiture of American Airline’s non-core business, AMR Services Corporation was sold to Castle Harlan, which named the purchased business Worldwide Flight Services. In 2001, the VINCI Group acquired WFS, and operated it as part of the VINCI Airport Management division. In 2002, the VINCI Group procured a majority stake holding in EFS (formerly SEN Group) and integrated this business within the WFS portfolio. WFS was acquired by Platinum Equity in Oct-2015 then acquired by SATS in Apr-2023. WFS is a fully owned subsidiary of SATS.
WFS offers three business lines: Cargo Handling, Ground Handling Services (Baggage, Ramp, Fuelling, Passenger) and Technical Services.
