Dec 10, 2009 (newstodate): Korean Air Cargo is seeing full flights from Oslo Gardermoen Airport to Incheon, South Korea.
-The demand in the Asian markets for Norwegian fresh salmon is insatiable, and we fill up the three weekly flights from Oslo to the brim, says Arnfinn Husoy, Korean air Cargo sales manager Norway.
-Especially before Christmas the volumes are indeed booming, but the situation will probably remain unchanged till the Chinese New Year that is another seasonal peak.
-The Boeing 747-400F freighter flies into Oslo from Vienna, and while we share capacity with the Austrian market we can indeed fill up the aircraft ourselves. The issue of adding a fourth frequency is always on the table, but there are no immediate plans, however.
-Imports from Asia into Norway are also booming, but here we rely on the direct Korean Air Cargo freighter services at Stockholm and Copenhagen and convenient RFS connections into Norway, says Mr Husoy.
Worldwide, Korean Air Cargo expects December 2009 to set new records in volumes, and the carrier has added 41 extra freighter flights to cope with the demand, mainly driven by exports from Korea to Europe and the USA of electronic consumer products.
The record additional flights, carrying a total of 4,100 tons of cargo, come after two busy months in September and October when the airline flew 10 and 13 extra freighter flights, respectively.
