Apr 23, 2009 (newstodate): Effective from the end of April, 2009, Singapore Airlines Cargo plans to reduce its freighter program at Copenhagen Airport with one weekly operation.
-One weekly Sunday flight on the route from Frankfurt via Copenhagen to Singapore will be suspended, leaving us with four weekly Boeing 747-400F operations in addition to three weekly passenger flights, says Kim Irmov, Singapore Airlines regional manager Nordic and Baltic region.
-The total ex-Denmark freight capacity will, however, remain unaffected by the move as we will have more capacity on the other Sunday operation on the route from Amsterdam via Copenhagen to Singapore.
-Under the current market conditions I feel personally confirmed in the importance of Singapore Airline Cargo's hub-strategy focusing on Copenhagen Airport as the sole hub for all Nordic traffic. The strategy allows us to consolidate shipments from all markets in this region in coordination with an efficient road feeder service, and this enhances the cost-efficiency of our operations. Even in adverse market conditions the Nordic cargo is still there, says Mr Irmov.
