DEC 15, 2003 (newstodate): The parties behind the projected new freighter operation from Kallax Airport to Japan, lifting Norwegian salmon exports to the Japanese market, will meet in week 1 or 2 to settle the last remaining details before the start early in 2004.
-We might actually start up now on the existing basis, but we have decided to meet again first thing in the new yeaer to go through once again all issues and settle the last remaining details, says Terje Dypvik, Nord-norsk Spedition managing director.
-We are working closely with DFDS Transport Norway that has extensive experience in airfreight, while we are in close ocntact with the customers of this new route, Dypvik says.
Norwegian salmon farmer must now send their salmon via Gardermoen Airport, which takes some 24 hours, and most often it will be trucked from there to continental airports to catch freighter or belly-hold flights to Japan.
Under the new concept the salmon will be trucked to Kallax Airport in eight to 12 hours, and flown to Japan via arctic routes that are requiring less airborne hours than conventional flights out of the continent.
