Apr 18, 2018 (newstodate): Avinor is calling stakeholders in the country's seafood export logistics to a two-day workshop in Oslo.
A prime focus will be on potentials for Saudia Cargo to establish a new freighter service from Oslo Airport later this year.
Saudia Cargo was actually present as a speaker at the Nordic Air Cargo Symposium in Stockholm on April 17, 2018.
-I will be meeting with forwarders and providers in Oslo on April 18 to discuss setting up a freighter service from Oslo to New York JFK to bring seafood exports to the North American market, said Rainer Muller, Saudia Cargo Regional Director Europe.
-The freighter service will not only carry seafood, however, but must seek revenue for a balanced operation by routing the aircraft in from a point in Central Europe for the continued flight from Oslo to the USA.
-To sustain a service like this requires working together with forwarders and providers to secure a steady flow of shipments. There will be peaks, ups and downs, but we need forwarders to contribute to balancing the utilization of the capacity with other products than just seafood, said Mr Muller.
Oslo Airport currently have some 20 weekly freighter departures lifting seafood to the Asian markets - but Saudia Cargo would be first to add freighter services to the US market that is important to the Norwegian seafood exporters.
