New head of cargo at Doncaster Sheffield Airport
Doncaster Sheffield Airport (DSA, UK) has appointed Ray Wood head of cargo. He has over 20 years’ experience in the airline air freight sector. Wood joins DSA from Virgin Atlantic, where he was regional sales manager for cargo. Prior to that he spent four years at IAG Cargo and 14 years at Lufthansa Cargo.
Wood joins the team at a key time for the airport as it reports a record year with 42% growth in tonnage and a number of new contracts gained since cargo operations were taken in-house in April 2018. The airport has also seen the acquisition of new infrastructure and facilities, including a 4,645 sqm transit shed, a fourfold increase in its capacity.
Wood said: “I’m really happy to be here, as the role is unique in as much that the airport has insourced its cargo handling operations as well as attracted new operators to the airport." (mw)
