SF Airlines now serves Norway
On 14 January the first SF Airlines freighter departed from Ezhou Huahu airport (China), bound for Oslo airport, marking the launch of an Ezhou–Oslo freight route.
“This is the first time SF Airlines has flown to Norway, and the first freight route from Ezhou to Norway,” said Eva Beate Lande, director of cargo at state-owned airport operator Avinor.
Shipments on the new route, which will fortify airfreight connections between the two countries, will include express parcels, e-commerce goods and export items, including Norwegian salmon destined for the Chinese market.
Oslo airport plays a central role in Norway’s seafood exports. China is Norway’s largest seafood market in Asia and the fastest-growing worldwide; it thus requires stable perishable logistics connections between Norway and China. (cj)
