May 04, 2011 (newstodate): As part of Icelandair Cargo's significant increase in cargo capacity during this summer, Denmark will see also up to 24 weekly rotations at Copenhagen plus up to three weekly rotations from June 1, 2011, at Billund Airport.
-It is indeed a massive capacity thrown unto the Danish airfreight market, but we will work hard to sell as much as possible, says Steven Kean, North Air Logistics, the carrier's GSSA.
-Normally, the Icelandic market itself fills up the aircraft on flights to and from the USA, but during the summer season more capacity is available and this will prove an asset for us.
-Cargo transfer times are very short at Keflavik, down to some 90 minutes, and if we have substantial loads for US destinations from Denmark we may occasionally be able to negotiate with Icelandair to let the aircraft continue beyond Keflavik without having to transfer the shipments at all.
-In the case of Billund, the flights, so far set up till September 12, 2011, will allow us to lift some Icelandair Cargo shipments from trucking to online air transportation which will boost the competitiveness of the products, says Mr Kean.
