On 12OCT26, seafood exporters, airlines, airports, freight forwarders, logistics providers, and supply chain specialists will descend upon Oslo, Norway, to attend the Air Cargo Seafood Forum 2026 and discuss the future of seafood air logistics. Organized by Euroavia International, the biennial conference is due to take place at the Quality Airport Hotel Gardermoen. The event comes at a time when growing global demand for fresh seafood is increasing pressure on supply chains to become more resilient, transparent, sustainable, and digitally enabled. Topics on the agenda include cold chain management, market developments, capacity constraints, digitalization, automation, artificial intelligence, and the role of air cargo in maintaining product quality and speed to market. Norway’s position as one of the world’s leading seafood exporters makes Oslo a fitting host city: according to Norwegian Seafood Council data, the country exported around 2.8 million tons of seafood worth NOK 180 billion last year, while Euroavia estimates that salmon flown from Norway reached around 160,000 chargeable tons between JAN-MAY26.
Lars-Gunnar Comén, Managing Director of Euroavia International, said: “The Air Cargo Seafood Forum has become an important meeting place for the seafood and air cargo industries. As a bi-annual event, it offers a unique opportunity for industry professionals to meet, share insights and discuss the latest developments shaping seafood logistics worldwide. [In recent years:] we have seen growing demand for supply chain transparency, increased use of digital tools, evolving trade patterns and a stronger focus on resilience and operational efficiency. The industry continues to adapt to changing market conditions while maintaining the high standards required for transporting fresh seafood. [Digital] technologies will help improve visibility, planning and decision-making across the supply chain [and] have the potential to increase efficiency, reduce waste and provide better control over the movement of time-sensitive products such as seafood. We are seeing progress in areas such as more efficient logistics planning, improved packaging solutions, greater transparency and initiatives aimed at reducing environmental impact while maintaining product quality and operational performance. Norway is one of the world’s leading seafood exporters and a global benchmark for quality, innovation and sustainability. Its seafood reaches markets across the world, making efficient logistics and air cargo connectivity essential to maintaining product freshness and value.”
