Aug 10, 2015 (newstodate): In July 2015, Finnair saw its cargo volumes down by 16.2 percent, y-o-y, to 11,151 tonnes.
After the first seven months of this year, the carrier has thus transported a total of 73,055 tonnes of cargo which is also down 16 percent.
Comparisons with last year are, however, affected by the closure, from the end of 2014, of the company's all-cargo operations by Nordic Global Cargo.
Finnair's crucial Asian cargo in July 2015 was 7,301 tonnes, down 4.9 percent and by 0.5 percent in January-July 2015, to 46,408 tonnes, while the European traffic was down 19.6 percent in July and by 13.5 percent in Jan-Jul, to 1,699 and 12,008 tonnes, respectively.
Finnair is currently preparing for the introduction of its new long-haul fleet comprising a total of 19 Airbus A350 XWB that will eventually lift the total cargo capacity by 50 percent.
Against this, the current trends in load factors do not exactly call for a drastic increase in capacity.
In January-July the load factor on the Asian lanes thus dropped five percentage-points, to 56.6 percent as available tonne-kilometers were up 11.1 percent and the revenue tonne-kilometer dropped 1.6 percent, y-o-y.
