Apr 25, 2008 (newstodate): Korean Air Cargo is seeing continued strong volume growth in Denmark and Norway, reporting some 30 percent increase during Q1, y-o-y.
-But as for all airlines, rates are declining and fuel costs are rising, so these are challenging times, says Salman Lee, Korean Air Cargo general manager Denmark and Norway.
-We are currently operating three weekly freighter flights at Oslo, and two weekly flights at Copenhagen, and plans for an extra freighter frequency are currently on the table.
-We are therefore now monitoring these two markets closely to ascertain where best to introduce the added capacity, says Mr Lee.
In 2007 Norway generated a total of 6,351 tonnes of IATA export cargo to Korea which was an increase by 66 percent, while rates dipped 14.5 percent.
Denmark generated a total of 3,689 tonnes of IATA export air cargo to Korea, increasing 57.5 percent while rates dropped 17.8 percent on an average.
