NORWAY's Oslo Airport has awarded Paris-based global ground handler World Flight Services (WFS) to operate its projected seafood cargo facility when it opens in 2021 after construction starts in April. WFS said Oslo Airport is the fastest growing airport in cargo traffic, increasing its volume 36 per cent last year to 185,000 tonnes.
Much of that traffic - 90,000 tonnes - is seafood exports, which is one of the top exports of the Norwegian economy behind petroleum products.
Airport cargo chief Martin Langaas said the facility - which will accommodate 250,000 tonnes of capacity annually - will 'increase the competitiveness of Norwegian seafood globally' toward the goal of becoming 'the preferred cargo hub in Northern Europe.'
