Sep 26, 2019 (newstodate): Avinor is early out with happy tidings - but in the case of announcing a new freighter service at Oslo by Silk Way West Airlines, confusion still reigns.
Despite Avinor's announcement earlier this week, readily copied by media, of Silk Way West Airlines opening up a scheduled weekly freighter service at Oslo Airport, neither a phone call yesterday to the carrier's European head office at Amsterdam, nor a call this morning to the carrier's GSA in Norway confirmed the information.
Instead, both sources maintained that the carrier's Boeing 747-400F flight from Amsterdam into Oslo Airport and continuing via Baku to Tianjin, China, on September 27, 2019, is a one-off, fully-booked charter flight only, with no further info on coming scheduled services.
Calling on the carrier's Amsterdam office again this morning, newstodate is told that there are indeed intentions to set up a freighter service at Oslo Airport.
However, all pertinent preparations are still not in place, and no official information has thus been issued by Silk Way West Airlines.
