Worldwide Flight Services (WFS), a SATS company, has been conditionally awarded a cargo handling licence at Oslo Gardermoen Airport, marking the group’s first entry into the Norwegian market.
WFS will become the airport’s third cargo handler, increasing capacity and competition for airlines, freight forwarders and cargo owners. Airport operator Avinor said the additional provider would strengthen supply-chain resilience and support the expansion of Norwegian import and export traffic.
Oslo Airport is Northern Europe’s largest full-freighter hub and an important gateway for time-sensitive and perishable exports, particularly Norwegian seafood. Cargo demand at the airport is growing, and Avinor views WFS’s arrival as a key step in the further development of its Cargo West area.
WFS said it expects to play a significant role in Oslo’s future cargo growth by linking the airport to the wider SATS network. Together, WFS and SATS provide cargo handling services at more than 225 stations in 27 countries, covering trade routes that account for over half of global air cargo volumes.
The licence remains subject to WFS fulfilling the required conditions.
