Feb 17, 2016 (newstodate): Avinor is finally signalling the importance of air cargo by seeking applicants to a new position as Head of Cargo.
-Oslo Airport is currently expanding, and capacity will reach 30 million passengers per year. The expansion is one of Norway's largest building projects and will be completed in 2017. The position as Head of Cargo is vital to ensuring the current expansion of Avinor, Avinor says in its posting.
Based at Oslo Airport, the coming Head of Cargo will report to Avinor's Director of Traffic Development and undertake the responsibility for growing the freight handled and transported via the airport network.
Avinor's ambitions are that the Head of Cargo "will be a central contributor in positioning Avinor and Oslo Airport as Scandinavia's preferred cargo hub".
In 2015, Oslo Airport handled a total of 133,724 tonnes of flown cargo and mail against 129,429 tones in 2014.
The bulk of the country's airfreight, primarily the seafood export, remains trucked out of the country for uplift from other European airports, and one challenge for the coming Head of Cargo will be increasingly turn this traffic from wheels to uplift by air from Avinor's airports.
If this will suffice to positioning Oslo Airport as Scandinavia's preferred cargo hub" remains to be seen.
Applicants still have time until February 21, 2016, to muster their guts.
