Lufthansa Cargo has introduced a weekly A321 freighter flight to Evenes Airport (EVE) in northern Norway under a joint project between salmon producer Salmosped and exporter Nordlaks.
Evenes Airport near Narvik is the gateway to the Lofoten Islands, a major sourvce of fish and seafood. The new connection allows fresh produce to move directly to Lufthansa’s Frankfurt hub and from there to destinations served by international freighter and passenger aircraft, in some cases cutting delivery times from four to six days to less than 24 hours.
