Worldwide Air Logistics Group and Southern Air have extended the lease for their Northern Kentucky headquarters at the Turfway Ridge Office Park in Florence, the companies said Friday.
Lease terms were not disclosed.
Worldwide provides air cargo service offerings through its separate air carrier operating companies. Southern Air provides airlift services for DHL Express and other customers with its fleet of Boeing 777 and 737 freighters. Southern Air employs about 400 in Kentucky and its other locations around the world.
Subsidiary Florida West International Airways Inc. remains based in Miami, Florida.
“With its excellent workforce, quality of life, and exceptional business climate, the commonwealth has been a terrific partner for us since we relocated to Kentucky two years ago,” said Dan McHugh, chief executive officer of Worldwide. “Our renewed commitment to the Northern Kentucky area will allow us to further build upon on our strong partnership with the community and continue to support DHL Express at its main U.S. hub at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport.”
Southern Air relocated its headquarters to Kentucky in 2013. The following year, it reached a 10-year contract extension with DHL Express to fly cargo around the world.
Earlier this year, Southern Air named Paul Chase as its chief operating officer to oversee the cargo airline’s business. Fred deLeeuw, who has served as Southern Air’s president, transitioned to become chief financial officer for Worldwide Air Logistics Group.
