Apr 18, 2013 (newstodate): One Asian freighter carrier performing with success in the Scandinavian markets is Korean Air Cargo.
According to the latest CASS statistics available, Korean Air Cargo in January 2013 accounted for 6.3 percent of the Danish IATA export market, 10.9 percent in Norway and 6.2 percent in Sweden.
In February 2013, the percentage by Korean Air Cargo was 6.5 in Denmark, 10.5 in Norway and 5.7 in Sweden.
In this summer's schedules, the carrier is operating two weekly freighter flights in Denmark, two in Sweden and three in Norway.
-There has been stagnation in the Danish airfreight market, but we have actually not seen volumes declining, says Eb Chun, Korean Air Cargo manager Denmark.
-Overall, our situation is rather good, building on the strength of our route network as well as the quality of transfer services at Incheon Airport, South Korea.
-Via Incheon Airport we reach into a wide selection of Asian destinations including points in Japan and China, and the planning flexibility of our HQs allows us to offer through-services from our points in Scandinavia via Seoul Incheon Airport to final destinations without change of freighter aircraft when warranted by the volume and nature of shipments.
-We maintain a strict focus on customer demands and offer close monitoring of sensitive and high-value shipments all along the line, with information and data shared by all stations and departments involved. This is of course especially important for shipments of pharmaceuticals, perishables and other sensitive goods.
-Competition in the market is very strong, but we have so far managed to keep and indeed grow our standing in the Scandinavian markets, and we definitely see potentials for further growth, says Mr Eb Chun.
