Jun 27, 2013 (newstodate): Greenland's airfreight market is "relatively stable", dominated by air cargo imports.
The country is reach in seafood resources, but so far little success has been obtained in the global marketplace.
-Air Greenland has been involved in all seafood air transport ventures, but apart from a single small-scale project all have failed, says Christian Keldsen, Air Greenland CCO.
-Most often the parties involved have not been able to control and manage the procurement and/or the marketing processes. Air transport of fresh seafood requires procurement to take place at fixed times allowing the shipments to arrive timely at the aircraft in order to reach European consumers within 24 hours. This has proved exceedingly difficult to manage for the parties involved.
-Also the marketing of Greenland's seafood has proved to be a problem. So far, earlier projects have not been sufficiently aware of the need for marketing to be in place before the seafood commodities arrive in Denmark.
-Generally speaking, we expect the airfreight market to continue more or less as it stands today while the absence of cruise calls and drilling exploration activities in 2012 and 2013 does certainly make an impact.
-We are of course ready to stand up to any new business opportunities, but we do not expect air transportation of seafood to be among them, says Mr Keldsen.
