AUG 23, 2005 (newstodate): SAS Cargo does not expect changes in this winter's freighter frequency on services between Gothenburg and Osaka, Japan, after the opening of the Oslo-Nagoya route.
SAS Cargo is partner to the Gothenburg-service together with Lufthansa Cargo and Japan Airlines Cargo that are now opening the Nagoya freighter out of Norway to lift fresh salmon to the Japanese market without participation from SAS Cargo.
-SAS Cargo does not currently have traffic rights to serve Nagoya, but apart from that our analysis also shows that the demand for capacity into Nagoya from Europe is rather limited. It is really a "one-way trafic" from the outset, says Teddy Zebitz, SAS Cargo VP Network & Revenue Management.
-The frequency of the Gothenburg service to Osaka has always been flexibly adjusted within the range of three to five weekly departures, and we have no intention of reducing the current frequency of three weekly flights, he says.
Lufthansa Cargo Norway earlier told newstodate that the opening of the new route out of Oslo might lead to adjustments in the frequency of the Gothenburg flights to Japan.
