Airline veteran Jennifer Smith has joined Worldwide Flight Services (WFS) as UK commercial director – cargo & ground handling.
Ms Smith joins from Air New Zealand, where she was regional cargo sales manager for UK and Europe. Prior to that she held the same role at Etihad for seven years and similar roles at American Airlines Cargo and Continental.
At WFS she will strengthen airline client relationships and add customers to the handler’s portfolio; WFS operates at 12 UK airports.
“Jennifer is a welcome addition to our leadership team in the UK and brings a strong customer perspective to our business and to the way we want to engage with, and support, our airline clients,” said Paul Carmody, MD – UK Cargo.
“After such an extremely challenging year for the aviation industry and its partners, it is more important than ever to provide a consistent business model that sustains growth, provides exemplary service, and reinforces our commitment to ‘best-in-class’ safety and security services. As we continue to invest in our UK operations, we are confident of securing new cargo and ground handling contracts as well as extending our existing airline agreements, and Jennifer will lead this growth.”
