Mar 29, 2019 (newstodate): Normally little outspoken, Norwegian Cargo's managing director punched hard at plans for Avinor to established a new, own seafood terminal at Oslo Airport.
Raising - and answering - the issue of a proposed Avinor seafood terminal, Mr Bjorn Erik Barman-Jenssen saw little future for the projected facility designed for handling up to 250,000 tonnes of seafood shipments, building on cooperation with investors and partners in the seafood industry and providers of seafood air logistics, and with WFS as its operator, according to an MoU signed in 2018.
-Avinor is a state-owned monopoly living on Norwegian taxpayers' money, said Mr Barman-Jenssen.
-What would an Avinor-built seafood terminal create of new business? It would rather ruin what is already here at Oslo Airport. If the project was realized it would hurt the existing cargo handling providers.
-At Oslo Airport, we have two brilliantly-working cargo terminals, Roadfeeders and GPC, that have committed to expand to meet future growing demands in the market. Why would Avinor spend taxpayers' money to build a castle in the air, said Mr Barman-Jenssen.
