This flight provides a much-needed opportunity for Scandinavian companies to export cargo to US and back, ensuring the industrial wheels keep moving.
"Both SGL and SAS Cargo take our respective obligation to keep the wheels in motion very seriously on behalf of our many customers, allowing goods to continue to flow freely between Europe and US despite the current situation.
It was easy being two large Scandinavian companies, to agree on the idea of a cargo charter solution taking the opportunity to utilize non-operational passenger aircraft as a cargo flight, says Allan Melgaard, Group CEO at Scan Global Logistics.From the idea was conceived until the solution was ready didn´t take long. SAS Cargo acted quickly on the idea and arranged for a regular passenger aircraft to be used as a cargo charter.
“SAS is currently getting a lot of inquiries about ad-hoc flights for passengers and cargo. We are looking at these requests and prioritizing the traffic that is most needed to support both our society and our customers. It’s essential that we save businesses in these critical times by keeping global supply chains open”, says Leif Rasmussen, President & CEO SAS Cargo.
