Lufthansa Cargo now links Evenes with the world
In the beginning of November, Lufthansa Cargo introduced weekly A321 freighter flights to Evenes Airport (EVE) in Northern Norway.
A joint project between the Norwegian salmon producer and exporter Nordlaks, the freight forwarder Salmosped and Lufthansa Cargo is now delivering the freshest fish and seafood to global markets.
Evenes Airport is located near the city of Harstad/Narvik and is part of the province of Troms og Finnmark in Norway. Located north of the Arctic Circle, this region is considered the gateway to the Lofoten Islands, making it a very important market for fish and seafood.
The area around Evenes Airport is home to a number of salmon producers. Both the catch of wild salmon and the income from salmon farming are growing steadily. In 2021 alone, more than one million t of salmon were exported from Norway. (cj)
