WFS appoints Paul Carmody to head UK cargo operations

Worldwide Flight Services has appointed Paul Carmody as its managing director for cargo operations in the UK.  

Mr Carmody was previously head of UK operations, and has been at WFS for the last decade. 

Prior to joining WFS, he was at Menzies Aviation since 2002, finally leaving the company as its general manager for express baggage after less than a year in the role.    

Executive vice president for cargo at WFS EMEA, John Batten, welcomed Mr Carmody to the role, adding that he “thoroughly deserved” the promotion.   

“With his solid experience and operational skills, he will provide the leadership to grow our business and ensure we achieve our performance objectives,” added Mr Batten.   

“Paul will be responsible for building on our long-term success in the UK handling market by ensuring we consistently meet the expectations of our growing airline customer portfolio.”  

Mr Carmody will be responsible for all aspects of the company’s cargo operations in the UK, reporting directly to Mr Batten.   

In the UK alone, WFS handles close to 600,000 tonnes annually for 40 airline customers at facilities in London, Manchester, Glasgow and UK regional airports.
