FEB 23, 2005 (newstodate): Finnair Cargo is seeing strong results from its freighter strategy.
In 2004, Finnair Cargo generated a 47.7 percent growth in volumes on its scheduled freighter services.
-This positive trend has been sustained during the first months of 2005 as well, and we may expand our scheduled freighter services with new initiatives in 2005, says Timo Riihimaki, Finnair Cargo Assistant VP Marketing & Industry Affairs.
Since November 26, 2004, Finnair Cargo has offered a weekly Cargolux freighter service from Luxembourg via Helsinki to Hong Kong and v-v under a blocked-space agreement with Cargolux.
The company also cooperates with Emirates SkyCargo through a blocked-space agreement covering the route from Dubai via Gothenburg to New York, and v-v.
Finnair Cargo also operates a twice-weekly East European Freighter Service from Vienna to Helsinki by chartering an aircraft from DHL Aviation.
Until January, 2005, Finnair Cargo operated a freighter service from Cologne to Helsinki, but this service has been suspended as the Cargolux freighter has taken over the loads formerly transported out of Cologne.
