Icelandair Cargo, in co-operation with Canadian freight forwarder Fly Fresh Freight, has introduced a weekly direct B757-200 freighter service between Keflavik, Iceland and Gander in Newfoundland, Canada.
The Icelandic carrier said it expected traffic on the new service to be mainly fresh seafood products and air freight linked to Newfoundland’s growing oil and gas industry.
"With this new connection, Newfoundland is able to connect into the freighter network that Icelandair Cargo offers from Keflavik to several European markets including the UK," it added.
