Sep 13, 2018 (newstodate): DHL claims a new record in uplift of Norwegian King Crabs on its freighter service to Asia from Oslo Airport, according to Avinor's Instagram input.
In August 2018, the twice-weekly freighter thus lifted a record of 340 tonnes live crabs on the route to Asia, corresponding to some 40+ tonnes per flight.
With the first flight on September 8, 2017, DHL Freight Forwarding introduced a twice-weekly freighter service from Oslo Airport to Seoul, continuing to Shanghai using an Atlas Air Boeing 747-400F aircraft, connecting to its freighter service from Lakselv to Oslo, inaugurated on May 23, 2017, with an Airbus A330F from DHL and later expanded to twice-weekly services.
The high value of the king crabs and the rising demand in many Asian markets makes air transportation the sole alternative to reach the shelves with provisions of fresh crabs.
