NOV 09, 2004 (newstodate): Pending a positive result from the Faroese government's evaulation of Danish Air Transport's application for traffic rights, a traffic system can be implemented from December 18, already.
-If we obtain approval very soon, bookings can be accepted within six hours although we have pledged to be in place within two days' notice, says Jesper Rungholm, DAT managing director.
DAT's tentative traffic programme currently comprises daily flights on December 18-23, December 26-27, and January 2, 2005.
-We will thus be in a position to introduce ourselves in the market, and to test the customer acceptance during a defined period of time.
According to current plans, regular flights will be resumed from March 18 if sufficient market volume is identified.
-We currently plan to depart from Copenhagen Airport, but if allowed by the Faroese government we may later add flights out of another Danish destination in Jutland, says Mr Rungholm.
DAT operates a fleet of ATR-42 and ATR-72 aircraft, including a full-freighter.
-Our core market for the projected service is passenger transportation but we would be happy to take 500 or 1,000 kilo of airfreight if capacity permits. We could also operate extra rotations on the route dedicated to cargo purposes if requested by the market, he says.
-Our ATR-72 has the capacity to lift 66 passengers without any weight or fuel penalty on the route and has fuel enough to hold for a full hour on the route or seek alternate airports, he says.
