Apr 08, 2016 (newstodate): Avinor, managing airports in Norway, has now named its coming Head of Cargo: Martin Langaas.
Taking up this newly-created position from June 1, 2016, Mr Langaas last comes from a position with ColliCare as Project & Development Manager - Sales, but started his career in logistics as Schenker Norway Sales Executive for two years from 2010.
-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 said in its posting calling for applicants to the new position.
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.
Needless to say, Norway's huge export of seafood remains the key driver in the country's airfreight industry, alongside the oil and gas industries.
