July 02, 2010 (newstodate): Through this year's first six months, cargo volumes have been soaring at Billund Airport, serving the industrial center of Western Denmark.
5,462 tonnes of cargo were handled in June 2010, an increase by 53.3 percent, y-o-y.
Both imports, 2,620 tonnes, and exports, 2,842 tonnes, were rising steeply by 79.3 and 35.2 percent, respectively.
For January-June 2010, total volumes handled at the airport were 35.9 percent, y-o-y, to 28.253 tonnes.
Totals include 15,683 tonnes of imports, up 64.8 percent, and 12,570 tonnes of exports, up 11.5 percent, y-o-y.
-It is especially important to note that exports are now also on the rise. And while the new DHL freighter operation since April 2010 at Billund Airport does contribute significantly to the increase in export volumes, the trend is indeed positive even when separating the "DHL effect", says Jan Ditlevsen, Cargo Center Billund manager.
