FEB 05, 2004 (newstodate): The planned route to serve the Norwegian exporters of salmon to the Far East is now scheduled for launch by February 17.
The exports will be trucked from Norway to the Swedish airport Kallax at Luleaa, and flown from there by Polar Air Cargo into the airline's hub at Liege for transiting to Inchon, Korea, where the loads will again be transferred to other aircraft for final flights into end destinations.
The aircraft will next continue to Taipei before returning to Liege.
-We could have wished a more direct route out of Kallax to the Far East, but after all this is still a positive alternative to having to truck the salmon exports from Northern Norway to Oslo for onwards trucking to a continental airport, says Terje Dybvik, Nord-Norsk Spedisjon.
According to Dybvik the final contract with Polar has yet to be signed, but a deal seems to be "99 percent settled".
Earlier this week plans were unveiled for another new freighter service out of Norway - Korean Air Cargo's new route from March operating from Oslo to Seoul as part of a new round-the-world service.
