Mar 28, 2018 (newstodate): Despite the large increase in freighter services to lift seafood shipments from Oslo Airport, more uplift capacity on freighters and passenger aircraft belly holds is needed to keep up with demand.
In 2017, Oslo Airport handled 185,000 tonnes of air cargo, an increase by 35 percent, y-o-y.
The country's total export of seafood by air transportation was, however, almost 230,000 tonnes, and only about 39 percent, or some 90,000 tonnes, of this volume left Oslo Airport by air.
The remaining 61 percent was thus transported by road feeder services into other airport hubs in Stockholm, Helsinki and continental Europe.
It is therefore the goal of Avinor to raise the proportion of seafood exports out of Norway by attracting new cargo airlines and increasing frequencies on existing uplift providers.
Focusing on Norway's seafood air logistics, Schenker Norway is calling participants to its coming Seafood Seminar 2018 in Oslo on April 11, 2018, where speakers will look into seafood logistics from a wide variety of perspectives, including terminal handling where Martin Langaas, Avinor Director Traffic Development & Cargo, is expected to finally unveil concrete plans for construction of a new Avinor Seafood Terminal at Oslo Airport.
And on April 18-19, 2018, Avinor is calling stakeholders in Norway's forwarding and seafood logistics industries to a workshop focusing on potentials for a new freighter service by Saudia Cargo, which would mark the carrier's entry into the Nordic market.
Today, Oslo Airport is served with freighter aircraft by Korean Air, Qatar Airways, Turkish Cargo, DHL/Atlas Air, AirBridgeCargo, CAL Cargo Airlines and Emirates SkyCargo besides integrators UPS, DHL, FedEx, and TNT, with full-freighters accounting for about 27 percent of the seafood volumes lifted from Oslo Airport.
