Since early November, Lufthansa Cargo has been offering weekly freighter flights to Evenes (EVE) in northern Norway. The new connection to Evenes is the result of a joint project between the Norwegian salmon exporter Nordlaks, the logistics company Salmosped, and Lufthansa Cargo, enabling the transport of fish and seafood in the freshest quality to global markets.
(Frankfurt/Evens) Evenes Airport is located near the city of Harstad/Narvik and belongs to the province of Troms og Finnmark in Norway. Situated north of the Arctic Circle, this region is considered a gateway to the Lofoten Islands and is therefore a very significant market for fish and seafood. Numerous salmon producers are based in the vicinity of Evenes Airport. Both wild salmon catches and yields from salmon farming are steadily increasing. In 2021 alone, more than one million tons of salmon were exported from Norway.
“Efficient logistics are of utmost importance to us. Customers in Asia expect to receive fresh products of high quality. We are very pleased that we can develop new and innovative solutions together with partners like Lufthansa Cargo and Salmosped to serve our customers,” says Eirik Nikolaisen, Chief Commercial Officer of Nordlaks.
High Demand for Fishery Products
Given the high demand for Norwegian fishery products, the direct A321 freighter connection now allows for the shortest delivery times to the respective markets. Transporting fish and seafood as premium products requires adherence to the highest quality standards on the part of customers and authorities. In addition to the quality promise, Lufthansa Cargo’s new connection also offers a novelty by transporting fresh goods from Norway directly to the Frankfurt hub and from there to numerous destinations within the international freighter and passenger network of Lufthansa Group Airlines.
Customized Transport Solutions
“I am particularly excited about this innovative product offering. It shows how we can provide our customers with customized transport solutions thanks to the flexibility of the A321 freighter. We not only contribute to ensuring that fish and seafood from Norway reach their destinations worldwide even faster, but also in the best and freshest quality. Transport times to some markets can now be reduced from six or four days to less than 24 hours due to the direct connection to the Frankfurt hub,” emphasizes Ashwin Bhat, Chief Commercial Officer at Lufthansa Cargo.
