Suparna Airlines has launched a new direct cargo route between Oslo Airport and Shanghai Pudong, strengthening Norway’s export links with China and significantly increasing capacity for fresh seafood shipments. The weekly service, inaugurated on 24 January 2026, is operated with dedicated freighter aircraft and is currently the only direct connection between Oslo and Shanghai.
The new route improves speed, reliability and quality control for time-sensitive exports such as fresh salmon, reinforcing Norway’s competitiveness in the global seafood market. Avinor highlighted China as a key and rapidly growing destination for Norwegian seafood, where efficient logistics are critical to maintaining freshness and meeting delivery requirements.
The service also underlines Oslo Airport’s role as a major hub for seafood exports, supported by close proximity to production sites and strong cold-chain and handling infrastructure.
