Sep 16, 2009 (newstodate): After the deep global economic crisis, signs of spring are again seen in the Far East, according to SAS Cargo.
-Japan was among the economies hit the hardest by the economic crisis, with airfreight volumes cut by almost 50 percent. Now things are turning for the better, says Mette Vaabengaard, SAS Cargo communications manager.
-As the Japanese economy is recovering, trade by the country's electronics and car manufacturing industries especially is gaining momentum again.
-SAS Cargo has thus noted a significant upturn in demand for cargo capacity from Japan to Scandinavia, and over the last few weeks our west-bound flights from Japan have been fully booked with cargo and we have even developed a back-log of Scandinavian freight, says Ms Vaabengaard.
SAS operates a daily rotation between Copenhagen and Tokyo Narita Airport, using Airbus A340 aircraft on the route.
