AUG 18, 2005 (newstodate): Lufthansa Cargo Norway is greatly encouraged by the decision to operate two weekly freighter flights to Nagoya from Oslo.
-The dominant constitutent of the Norwegian export airfreight market remains the fresh salmon exports to Japan, and Japan's Nagoya region is considered a huge, new market that may provide the growth potentials for the future, says Kjell Westby, Lufthansa Cargo manager Norway.
-The other constituent, general cargo, is also very important to us, and we offer some 10 tonnes of belly-hold capacity on passenger aircraft between Norway and Germany each day. Together with our capacity, through a long-standing blocked-space agreement with DHL, on the daily freighter from Oslo via Copenhagen to Cologne, we are well positioned in the market.
-I would say we are quite satisfied with our current market position, but we would of course like to see more profits from operations while fighting, as everyone else, in a market with depressed rates due to over-capacity. However, our core product, the td.flash, performs well here as the Norwegian industry is marked by shipments of ships spares, equipment for the off-shore and oil industries and other ocmpanies with a demand for fast and reliable deliveries, says Mr Westby.
