Jun 17, 2022 (newstodate): Sweden's Stockholm Arlanda Airport is seeing its cargo volumes developing in 2022, thanks to a return in passenger traffic.
   During January-May 2022, a total of 42,000 tonnes of cargo and mail was handled at the airport, an increase by 15.7 percent, y-o-y.
   The volumes are almost exclusively international cargo, 41,645 tonnes, of which 25,235 tonnes were international export cargo, up strongly by 55 percent, y-o-y.
   The significant increase in the international cargo volumes, especially the export volumes, are driven not least by the long-haul routes by Finnair to destinations in the USA and to Bangkok - attracting strong support from Norway's exporters of seafood.
    Finnair launched services on the route from Stockholm to New York EWR from December 7, 2021, with three weekly rotations, alongside flights to Los Angeles starting from November 3, 2021, also with three weekly rotations, and adding flights from Stockholm to Miami from October 4, 2021, with four weekly rotations, going up to four rotations from November 29, 2021.
   In the summer 2022 season, Finnair has even increased the frequencies on the US-bound routes; from May 1, 2022, Finnair is operating from Stockholm Arlanda to New York daily, and to Los Angeles four times a week.
   With the first flight on March 27, 2022, Finnair launched four weekly flights from Arlanda to Dallas, and from June 1, the carrier is adding three weekly flights to Seattle.
   Altogether, Finnair will be operating on six long-haul routes from Stockholm Arlanda in summer 2022.
