Sep 3, 2008 (newstodate): Norway is advancing fast on its road to implementation of IATA's e-freight project.
The projects has reportedly met widespread acceptance among airlines, cargo handling companies, freight forwarders and authorities, all expressing great confidence in the benefits from e-freight, not least in relation to the country's important domestic air cargo segment.
On the international cargo side, KLM Cargo routes from Oslo to Amsterdam and London have been specified as Norway's first e-freight lanes.
-Work on the Norwegian EFOP has almost been completed, and when it is endorsed the dry test including simulated cargo operations will be launched, says Anders Hundahl, SAS Cargo director products & prices.
-We expect the first wet tests to start by mid-October, and then e-freight will go live in Norway.
-We are convinced that e-freight will save resources, enhance quality and benefit not least Norway's domestic cargo segment that is marked by a high percentage of express shipments, says Mr Hundahl.
