Copenhagen, JAN 23, 2003 (newstodate): AirBaltic managed to retain its cargo volumes during 2002, generating a total of 10,455 tonnes, according to its top executive.
-As elsewhere, the Latvian and Baltic economy was not expanding, but rather stagnating in 2002, and demand in most of our markets, including the German, UK, EU, and US markets, was comparatively low. But as the airline reduced capacity somewhat while the total tonnages remained virtually unchanged, we managed to increase the cargo yields a bit, says Haralds Treimanis, AirBaltic cargo manager since summer 2001, when he took over from predecessor Vija Dzerve.
Treimanis says AirBaltic Cargo is currently in the midst of a major update of products and service, including IT, which will be publicly marketed by the end of this year.
-As for 2003, I would be satisfied if we can maintain last year's level, says Treimanis.
Of AirBaltic's total of 10,455 tonnes carried, two-thirds are imports.
