Company Profile

• Cargo Warehousing

  WFSI operate three state-of-the-art facilities at Dublin, Shannon and Cork. These are purpose built cargo facilities equipped with the most modern handling equipment available. They are all located in prime locations with excellent access to motorways and ports. Each of the premises is fully bonded and is licensed to handle all forms of cargo including general cargo, live animals, radioactive materials and dangerous goods, with fully trained staff to ensure that freight is handled strictly in accordance with all regulatory and carrier requirements.

  As security is at the heart of our operations, we have equipped each cargo terminal with the most technically advanced web enabled digital CCTV systems. We have also installed highly sophisticated driver identification and workflow software to ensure full conformance with all national air cargo security programmes.

  WFSI’s forklift fleet is one of the most modern available, with a lifting capability to a maximum of 12,000kg. In the interests of the environment, the majority of our forklifts are powered by electricity, which helps reduce our carbon footprint.

  Our stations are all equipped with the very latest weighing technology. Using floor mounted weighbridges careful checks are made throughout the entire handling process to ensure the accuracy of the declared weights.

  Through the use of workflow software and handheld technology, we have the capability to process freight in an efficient and timely manner.

  

• Dangerous Goods

  All our staff are fully trained in Dangerous Goods Acceptance to IATA standard. Our training includes the handling, checking, storage and loading of restricted articles. We are also responsible for providing information to the relevant carriers and to the Irish Aviation Authority where appropriate.

  Safety and Security

  We take pride in adhering strictly to security regulations, safety policies and procedures. Training is provided for positions with specific responsibilities including security, dangerous goods, health & safety etc. Additionally, incentive and recognition programs are in place to reinforce a safe working environment.

• Cargo Safety & Security

  Cargo Safety

  Worldwide Flight Services Ireland promotes the safety, health and welfare of all employees. Our aim is to create and maintain a safe working environment through regular risk assessments and to ensure workplace conditions, practices and procedures are in compliance with relevant legislation.

  Cargo Security

  Security at airports has been tightened significantly because of the constant threat of terrorist activity. A wide range of extra security measures have been implemented to protect the travelling public. Cargo is not exempt from these stringent measures. Controls have been put in place and are under continuous review by all of the regulatory authorities. These controls are strictly enforced by Worldwide Flight Services and are constantly audited both internally and by external agencies
