Jan 16, 2009 (newstodate): Taking effect from next week, Icelandair Cargo will reduce frequency on freighter flights from Iceland to New York JFK from five to one weekly operation.
After a few weeks, however, the frequency will be two weekly operations.
The steep decrease in Iceland's import volumes is cited by a company representative as the main reason for the reduced frequency that has also caused Icelandair Cargo to abrogate its long-standing contract with TNT for Transatlantic freighter operations.
Icelandair Cargo's operations at Liege will consequently also be reduced by three weekly flights, to a total of eight weekly operations.
The carrier, however, denies reports that decisions have been made to scale back flights to European destinations as well.
