Jul 27, 2021 (newstodate): Virgin Atlantic Cargo is consolidating its all-cargo services at Norway's Harstad-Narvik Evenes Airport.
   The carrier is now operating one weekly direct non-stop flight from Evenes to New York JFK to lift over 50 tonnes of seafood shipments into the US market on a Boeing 787-9 passenger aircraft, replacing the earlier indirect service via London.
   In cooperation with Kuehne & Nagel Norway, Virgin Atlantic Cargo commenced scheduled all-cargo flights at Evenes Airport on February 3, 2021, after a series of test flights.
   Till now, the carrier has been offering two weekly rotations between London Heathrow and Evenes Airport with Boeing 787-9 aircraft per week, primarily to serve the Norwegian seafood exporters with onward transfer to the US market.
   Back again at Evenes Airport after the completion of the airport runway project is also Qatar Cargo, now operating a weekly Boeing 777 all-cargo passenger aircraft flying in from Luxembourg to Harstad-Narvik Evenes Airport on Tuesdays, picking up seafood shipments before continuing to Doha with the first operation on July 20.
