Sep 2, 2008 (newstodate): After Sweden and Norway, e-freight is now high on the agenda in the Danish airfreight market.
-The process was kicked-off last week at a meeting with the partipication of three freight forwarders, the handling company Spirit, Singapore Airlines Cargo in Denmark, SAS Cargo, and representatives from the authorities including Danish Customs, says Anders Hundahl, SAS Cargo director products & prices.
-Based on our experience from the processes in Sweden and Norway, we do not foresee any major problems from introducing e-freight in the Danish market.
-At the meeting five e-freight lanes have been identified, including routes from Copenhagen to Stockholm Arlanda, Gothenburg Landvetter, Singapore, Amsterdam and London. Not all alternatives will be implemented from the start as we will probably select two in the initial phase.
-The first step is to work out the Danish efop, e-freight flight operations procedures, that provides the framework for each participant's own e-freight procedures. Then follows a dry test with simulated operations, and eventually a wet test where the system goes live.
-We expect e-freight to go live in Denmark before the end of the year, after which is will be up to the individual players in the market to implement and expand the scope of e-freight, says Mr Hundahl.
