Qatar Airways reported a record year for salmon cargo from Norway in 2021. Salmon accounted for 95 percent of the airline\u2019s total perishable seafood cargo from the Scandinavian country.<\/p>\n

Norway is the world\u2019s largest exporter of salmon, with 1.3 million tonnes of salmon worth 57.8 billion euros ($28.9 billion).<\/p>\n

\u201cSalmon is a vulnerable commodity, requiring skilled, hygienic handling under controlled temperature conditions and, most importantly, rapid and reliable delivery to its final destination,\u201d the carrier said in a report by Aviation24.<\/p>\n

The company explained how it \u201creacted quickly to support Norwegian seafood exporters when the pandemic led to a significant reduction in cargo capacity.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cQatar Airways has significantly increased its capacity in the Norwegian seafood market with the arrival of commercial aircraft, including Harstad-Narvik Airport in Oysne and Bodo Airport in northern Norway,\u201d said Rob Weltman, vice president of cargo at Qatar Airways Europe. \u201cThis is something that the market needs more than ever in 2021.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cQatar Airways Cargo moved more than 46,000 tonnes of Norwegian seafood in 2021, the highest ever,\u201d added Weltman. \u201cThe airline is carrying more than 125 tonnes of seafood per day from Oslo.\u201d<\/p>\n

Qatar Airways is set to carry around 850 tonnes of Norwegian cargo per week, with Norwegian salmon being transported from Doha to countries in Asia and the Middle East.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
