Mar 17, 2014 (newstodate): Sweden's Jonkoping Airport is seeing the volumes of international cargo continuing the growth trend in 2014.
While the growth in volumes was still rather weak in January 2014, up only one percent, y-o-t, to 260 tonnes, growth returned in February where volumes increased by 15 percent to 255 tonnes.
Mail volumes earlier dominated, but the share of the total volumes has since declined to some 30 percent, generating 80 tonnes in January and 62 tonnes in February 2014.
-So far into 2014 we are rather confident that we will see another strong year in air cargo, with sustained growth, says Herman Larsson, Jonkoping Airport AB Marketing Manager.
Since the start of December 2013, TNT has replaced its former BAe 146 freighter with a Boeing 737 freighter, and from February 1, 2014, Amapola has replaced West Air on the postal flights to Stockholm Arlanda.
Sweden's Jonkoping airport saw its international cargo and volumes up by 10 percent in 2013, to a total of 3,190 tonnes, while the volumes of mail dropped almost 50 percent, y-o-y, to 1,198 tonnes due to Post Sweden's decision to end using Jonkoping Airport as a "mini-hub".
The airport thus handled a total of 4,388 tonnes, little short of the 5,000 tonnes predicted for the year.
