Dec 22, 2017 (newstodate): Finnair Cargo has established itself as a strong link in Norway's seafood air logistics.
A key element in Finnair's new COOL cargo terminal at Helsinki is the 3,000 sq m area dedicated to handling of perishables, notably seafood export shipments that are handled fully up to time and temperature sensitive requirements and monitored from the production site in Norway via trucking into the COOL terminal and all the way on Finnair flights to the destination at the receiver's end.
All movements from sea to sushi in Japan are thus monitored by Finnair Cargo's Cargo Eye as displayed on large screens in the COOL Control Center.
Finnair Cargo thus handles some 50 tonnes of Norwegian seafood per day, or about 20,000 tonnes per year.
-The trucking distance from sites in Northern Norway to Helsinki are shorter than the distance to Oslo, securing Helsinki Airport the position as a key gateway for seafood shipments to Asia, while Helsinki benefits from its shorter routes to destinations in Asia, says Martin Langaas, Avinor Director Cargo.
-Finnair is offering an excellent service to Norwegian seafood exporters by an extensive route network to Asia, and with the COOL terminal the company will remain an indispensable partner even after the commissioning of a coming new Avinor Seafood Terminal at Oslo Airport.
-Finnair will, however, always have limits to its Sibir overflight rights, rendering trucking into Oslo Airport an important part of the seafood logistics also in the years ahead, says Mr Langaas.
