FORT WORTH, Texas, June 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Worldwide Flight Services, one
of the world's leading providers of ground services to the aviation industry,
announced today the appointment of Mark Dunkerley as chief operating officer,
a new position.
Dunkerley will be responsible for the implementation of the company's

be an invaluable asset to our company in the future."

masters degree in air transport management from the Cranfield Institute of
Technology in the United Kingdom.
