Abstract
Seafood is the third largest export product in Norway, after oil and gas. Sea

fishing and aquaculture activities produced approximately 930 thousand tons of

seafood for the industry in 2019. Markets outside Europe require air

transportation in order to get the fresh commodities to market on time. This

investigation looks at the structure and efficiency related to the shipment of

these goods that go through Oslo Airport Gardermoen (OSL).

We present and investigate the research questions “What are the key dynamics,

challenges and opportunities of seafood export handling at Oslo Airport

Gardermoen?”.

Theoretical relevance to support our investigation and study is found in our

comprehensive literature review. We have analysed literature regarding air

cargo operations, relationship management, cold chain logistics and terminal

requirements in efficiency planning.

We have utilised a qualitative strategy with a cross-sectional design. Semistructured

interviews have been conducted with Avinor, airport forwarder and

terminal owners at OSL. These focused on current challenges, future potential,

and requirements to be achieved for a successful capture of the expected

increase in market demand.

Our investigation and findings show that there is potential for improvements

surrounding information flow between actors in the value chain, where much of

the uncertainty and volatility is found. Opportunities exist to improve capacity

utilization through better coordination and infrastructure planning. Air cargo

operators at OSL are aware of the underlying problems and opportunities that

exist, but struggle to coordinate their efforts. Operators at OSL could not only

improve current operations, but also to capture a greater market share by

proactively preparing for the future market demand.
