Malaysia Airlines’ cargo arm, MASkargo has resumed its cargo handling partnership with Worldwide Flight Services (WFS), a SATS company, in Paris to support the airline’s new daily flights to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport.
The two companies previously partnered in the French capital until Malaysia Airlines withdrew from the route in January 2016. Returning this month, Malaysia Airlines is now operating daily Airbus A350-900 passenger and cargo services connecting Paris and Kuala Lumpur, extending its global route network to 68 destinations. This latest expansion follows the arrival of additional wide-bodied aircraft in Malaysia’s fleet.
As well as cargo handling in Paris, WFS’s latest contract with Malaysia Airlines also covers operations at its provincial airport locations across France, including Lille, Lyon, Marseille, Nantes, and Strasbourg.

Across its global network spanning over 215 stations in 27 countries, WFS also provides handling services for Malaysia Airlines in Copenhagen, Bengaluru, and Bangkok.
This latest new contract reflects WFS’ status as the leading cargo handling service provider at Paris CDG, where it serves over 150 customers across nine cargo terminal facilities.
