Turkish Cargo seafood freighter flights to Oslo twice weekly
ISTANBUL's Turkish Cargo has launched a twice-weekly Airbus A330-200 freighter service to Oslo Airport, aimed at the growing Norwegian seafood export market.
"2016 was a record year for Norwegian seafood export, and Turkish Airlines wishes to take part in this development. Turkish Cargo has great expectations for the Norwegian market and convinced that its route and network can help to make the Norwegian seafood industry even more competitive," the carrier said.
With the rapid increasing demand for Norwegian seafood, Oslo Airport is considering building a new seafood centre and new areas for air cargo, reports London's Air Cargo News.
Norwegian airport's operator, Avinor, said that in conjunction with exporters it has been working on a feasibility study to look at building a 15,000-square metre air cargo seafood centre.
It is estimated that 600 tonnes of Norwegian seafood is exported every day as air cargo. Only 30 per cent of this goes from Oslo Airport, with the remainder trucked to other European hubs for flight connections to Asia and North America.
Said Turkish Cargo chief commercial officer Turhan Ozen: "2017 will be a good year. We believe cooperation with partners will get stronger in 2017 with our increasing quality and capacity."
Within the six-year period since the establishment of the regional office, the airline has experienced a rapid growth in the air cargo sector in the region.
In 2011, it flew cargo flights to only four destinations in Asia and the Far East. Today, it flies to 20 destinations and is one of the fastest growing airlines in the region.
