AUG 14, 2003 (newstodate): In July, Gothenburg Airport's cargo volumes were down 15 percent, to a total of 3,406 tonnes.
During January-July, the total volumes were down by eight percent to 23,095 tonnes, after a constistently negative trend month by month.
The drop is driven primarily by a 23 percent fall in exports in July, and by 16 percent during the first seven months this year.
In july, air cargo exports constituted 55 percent of total volumes.
-We are, however, still optimistic as Polar Air has now introduced the Boeing 747-400F on its two weekly North Atlantic routes, and is about to add a third weekly flight on the new route Liege-Gothenburg in connection with the Polar route from Liege to Korea and Taiwan, says Bj�rn Lennartz, Gothenburg Airport marketing manager.
Lennartz also hopes to see the Finnair Cargo freighter services to Europe and North America back again soon after their planned suspension during the summer period.
