PARIS, FRANCE, 2022-Mar-10 — /Travel PR News/ — Hainan Airlines has added a new ramp handling contract to its longstanding cargo handling partnership with Worldwide Flight Services at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.

The Chinese airline, which has been a customer of WFS in Seattle for cargo handling since 2013, has now appointed WFS to also provide loading and unloading of it 3-5 weekly passenger freighter services connecting the US west coast city with Shanghai Pudong.
