AUG 20, 2003 (newstodate): As promised to the market, Finnair Cargo will reinstate its freighter services by mid-September, the company says.
The company's freighter services were suspended by early summer, but the company pledged that the services would be reactivated in the autumn.
-We will indeed fulfil that pledge, and within one or two weeks, the market will be informed of our new freighter services, says Timo Riihim�kki, Finnair Cargo director marketing cargo.
According to Riihim�kki, a decision will be made on the future operator of the weekly Boeing 747 freighter route between New York and Helsinki via Gothenburg.
Until this summer the route was operated with an Evergreen aircraft, but, according to industry sources, with varying punctuality, regularity and quality.
Riihim�kki says the weekly freighter route between UK and Helsinki via Gothenburg will also be reinstalled by mid-September.
Before the suspension of the service, the route was operated with an Airbus A300 freighter, but a new aircraft type will be introduced, according to Riihim�kki.
