The Northern shortcut
Kallax Cargo Airport opens the Northern Shortcut for flights between Europe and Northeast Asia.
Air routes over Russia shorten the journey, while jet streams are weaker near the poles. Compared to conventional air routes, the timesavings per trip via Kallax Cargo Airport can be as much as four hours.
Savings can be as much as between 5,000 and 11,000 dollars per hour, depending on the type of aircraft and fuel prices. Shorter flying times also mean reduced emissions and thus significant global environmental gains.
On routes between Europe and Northeast Asia, but also to North America and Southeast Asia, Kallax has a very advantageous position for stopovers and refuelling.
