In Paris, the new three-year contract will extend WFS’ service to Singapore Airlines in France to over 40 years, having commenced in 1986 at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport. Singapore Airlines is also renewing its commitment to WFS in Brussels, where the two companies have worked together since 2021.

John Batten, Chief Executive Officer, Europe, Middle East, Africa, and Asia (EMEAA) at WFS said: “We are proud to be growing our relationship with Singapore Airlines and to be supporting the airline’s global reputation for service excellence.
