Apr 09, 2019 (newstodate): The Norwegian company Pole Position Logistics is pushing hard to realize the project to launch of Boeing 777F or Boeing 747-400F operations at Evenes Airport in the county's northernmost part, close to the major whitefish and redfish production sites.
From the outset, ambitions were to start the freighter service to Asian destinations already from spring 2019, but reality on ground has called for more time for preparations.
-The crucial issue now is getting the GSE needed for the cargo operations in place, says Stig Winther, Pole Position Logistics.
-Actually, the issue has two side; one is to source the equipment needed and getting it into place - another is to finance the investments at this point in time when business has till not lifted off.
-Anyhow, the plan remains in place, we are working tirelessly step by step allowing the process the time it needs. After all, this is no small venture, says Mr Winther.
As matters stand now, the target is to see the first operations lifting off by September 2019.
