Oct 17, 2018 (newstodate): With only two companies providing cargo handling at Norway's Oslo Airport, the current situation in the handling business is creating immediate turbulence.
Besides Roadfeeders, only Spirit Air Cargo Handling is today in the market, apart from DHL that provides self-handling with no external customers at Oslo Airport.
In the short term, airlines in Roadfeeders' customer portfolio that includes Norwegian, KLM/AF Cargo, Singapore Airlines, Japan Air Lines, Cargolux, Thai Cargo, British Airways, Turkish Airlines, United and Finnair and others, are forced to reschedule their shipments to trucking into other Nordic or continental hubs if they are today online at Oslo Airport.
In the meantime, efforts are heating up to find new owners to take over Roadfeeders that is expected to be declared bankrupt later today.
Speculations are if WFS may decide to take over Roadfeeders as a short-cut to entering the cargo handling market at Oslo Airport where the company signed an MoU with Avinor on August 14, 2018, to operate the planned new seafood terminal at Oslo Airport slated to be commissioned in 2021.
Today, 14 airlines carry seafood shipments from Oslo Airport, with more to follow including Ethiopian Airlines with a new route to Guangzhou and a planned route by Saudia Cargo to the USA still under negotiation.
