Worldwide Flight Services (WFS), a SATS company, has won a contract to handle Qatar Airways Cargo’s Boeing 777 Freighter operations at Liège Airport.
Commencing on 1 May 2026, WFS will provide ramp and warehouse handling services for the airline’s Boeing 777 freighters into the Belgian airport, arriving from Doha and other prime international cargo markets.
This latest contract reinforces WFS’ status as the leading cargo handling organisation at Liège Airport, based on volume. It now handles 11 international airlines which use Liège as a key European hub to transport cargo and e-commerce traffic.
“We are delighted to be serving Qatar Airways Cargo at another of the airline’s key international cargo stations and proud to be contributing to the growth of Liège Airport. At WFS, we are fully aware of the highest standards Qatar Airways expects for its customers. Being awarded another significant contract by the airline demonstrates our ability to consistently meet these requirements, and we hope this will lead to more growth opportunities across our respective global networks,” said Philippe Torry, Managing Director Belgium of WFS.
Liège Airport’s cargo growth shows no sign of abating. In 2025, the airport saw its annual cargo tonnage rise 14% to 1.32m tonnes. This upward trend continued in the first quarter of 2026, with the airport reporting a 15.6% year on-year boost in volumes to 342,845 tonnes. This was supported by a 7% increase in aircraft movements to 7,247 in the opening three months of this year.
