Aug 23, 2006 (newstodate): When West Air Sweden takes over the domestic air mail services contract with Post Norway from November 1, SAS Air mail will lose about 50 percent of its Norwegian volumes.
-It means a significant challenge in the market, but on the other side we see a constant increase in our over-all international mail, says Frank Badino, till August 1 SAS Cargo director air mail.
Among the top ten air mail carriers in the world, SAS Air mail is a Business Unit within SAS Cargo serving some 200 international air mail customers through its hub at Copenhagen Airport.
SAS Air Mail transports about 40,000 tonnes of mail each year, corresponding to about 13 percent of SAS Cargo's total tonnage.
-The world's total air mail volumes have remained almost stable over the recent year, constituting about 10 percent of all airline cargo volumes. While letter volumes have decreased due to the impact from electronic messaging, the shortfall has been compensated for by increasing volumes of small parcels driven by the increase in e-trade, says Mr Badino.
