Jun 22, 2009 (newstodate): An Air Atlanta Icelandic Boeing 747-200F freighter aircraft is now on the ground at Norway's Oslo Gardermoen Airport, awaiting customers for primarily US-bound flights.
The new freighter project builds on the cooperation between Air Atlanta and the Norwegian VIP charter carrier Sundt Air.
The freighter service will be offered to customers on an ad-hoc charter basis while a project group will evaluate market potentials for a scheduled trans-Atlantic service to New York or Miami after the first three months of operation.
Cargo capacity will be sold by a GSA yet to be announced, and the parties behind the project are open to proposals from any of the Scandinavian markets.
The new service is only the second wide-body cargo capacity at Oslo Gardermoen Airport, served by Korean Air Cargo since 2004.
It will, however, be the first dedicated freighter offering wide-body capacity for Norwegian salmon exports to the US market that is expected to grow significantly as the Chilean salmon farmers' production has been hit by a salmon disease blocking its entry into the US market where it has so far been the dominating provider.
