Nov 20, 2013 (newstodate): In December 2013, Lufthansa Cargo will launch a new direct road feeder service into Frankfurt Airport from Kristiansand in Norway.
-Work is currently progressing on certification of Kristiansand Airport to meet the EU Security Regulations allowing fully screened Lufthansa Cargo shipments to proceed directly by truck for acceptance as flight-ready shipments at Frankfurt Airport, says Christoph Harneid, Lufthansa Cargo Country Manager Norway.
-The completion of this certification process is awaited within few weeks, and the launch of the service will then follow within one or two weeks after that.
-Exporters on Norway's west coast comprising many off-shore and energy companies will thus be offered fast and direct services into Frankfurt Airport, avoiding today's routing via the terminal at Oslo Gardermoen Airport where the screening has so far been performed. The shipments will leave Kristiansand as real air cargo, ready for flight.
-Plans are to offer up to three weekly rotations on the road feeder service, depending on the demand in the market, says Mr Harneid.
