Apr 10, 2015 (newstodate): After Qatar's pull-out of its freighter at Norway's Stavanger Airport, Lufthansa Cargo is now alone in providing a scheduled freighter service - and intends to stay put.
-It is indeed true that the are fluctuations in the market demand from the oil and gas industries these days, but we are determined to stay and remain a dedicated service provider of freighter capacity connecting the US and Norwegian industries, says Christopher Harneid, Lufthansa Cargo Norway.
-It is, however, also true that there is quite a pressure on rates, with forwarders shopping for best bargains which also contributes to a strain on the business.
-Our weekly Boeing 777F freighter service at Stavanger since November 8, 2014, flies in from Houston and continues to Frankfurt, connecting the two leading off-shore oil & gas destinations in the USA and Norway as well as offering export capacity in the Norwegian market on our entire network via Frankfurt.
-Imports still outweigh exports but the balance changes from week to week and we are seeing a satisfactory operation with the freighter, says Mr Harneid.
