Jan 12, 2010 (newstodate): Air Canada considers the Nordic markets to be quite important and with good potentials for growth as the industry regains its breath.
-The situation in 2009 in the Nordic markets was of course no different from the general picture in the global air cargo industry, so we did see a steep decrease in imports into Canada from the Nordics as well as a decrease in the exports from Canada to the Nordic countries, says Michael Sauer, Air Canada Cargo regional manager Nordics and Baltics.
-Having said that, we truck significant loads of shipments from the Nordic markets into our hub at Frankfurt, and also fly shipments out of the Nordics to London, from where they are loaded on Air Canada's flights.
-We have now settled our GSA representations in Denmark and Sweden with new contracts with HWF Sweden and HWF Denmark, respectively, and are served as before by Airline Services G.S.A. in Norway and Finland, so we are well positioned to firm up our position as Air Canada launches its new daily service between Toronto and Copenhagen from June 25, 2010, using Boeing 676-300Er aircraft.
-Shipments from the Nordic markets comprise pharmaceuticals, machinery, some textiles, consumer products and well as equipment from Danish wind turbine manufacturer Vestas. In short, a broad mix of products, and we provide a new venue for both Canadian and US exports to the Nordic markets.
-We are quite confident over prospects for 2010 and are already now seeing bookings coming in, says Mr Sauer.
