Sep 30, 2011 (newstodate): A review of the framework conditions in Denmark for the airfreight business is needed.
-We will have to look deeper into the framework conditions for the air cargo industry in Denmark if we are to develop this business further, says Henrik Christophersen, chairman of the Danish Transport Committee set up by the now out-going Danish minister of transportation.
-When we start work to present a comprehensive overview of the entire aviation industry in Denmark in order to come up with recommendations and proposals, it is important not to forget the importance of the air cargo industry.
-Air cargo is often crucial to the profitability of not least intercontinental flights but this industry is seldom in the spotlight in Denmark. On the other hand we have witnessed the results produced elsewhere in Europe where airports have taken an active stand towards the airfreight industry. Luxembourg, Liege and Brussels may serve as examples in this respect.
-Airfreight has its own requirements and will need close integration with other elements in the country's infrastructure such as access to highways or railroad, and we must take these needs into consideration as well.
-On October 14, 2011, the Transport Committee will visit Copenhagen Airport to familiarize itself with the airport's development plans, including the airfreight sector, and at a later date a visit a Danish regional airport to see things from this perspective will also be scheduled, says Mr Christophersen.
