Sep 10, 2007 (newstodate): From the end of this winter's schedule, Singapore Airlines Cargo will stop its current twice-weekly services from Scandinavia to Chicago, on CASS Nordic's top-three list of destinations from Scandinavia.
Instead of Copenhagen, Scandinavia's airfreight exports to Chicago will be trucked to fly out of Brussels, the carrier's new European hub benefiting from Singapore Airlines Cargo's 7th freedom rights.
SQ Cargo's current Chicago services via Copenhagen were launched on September 22, 2005, and have been operated to and from from Singapore in combination with changing Indian destinations on both directions.
-Instead of two Chicago flights from Copenhagen, the Scandinavian markets will now have access to three weekly flights via Brussels, with two extending to Los Angeles which is also a new benefit to the market, says Kim Irmov, Singapore Airlines regional manager Nordic and Baltic region.
-Due to our new 7th Freedom Rights, the full capacity of the freighters to Chicago is now dedicated to the European market rather than being shared with Singapore, and this represents a significant increase in the capacity we can offer. Initial response from our customers in the Scandinavian markets has been most positive, says Mr Irmov.
