JAN 05, 2003 (newstodate): In 2003 airfreight was up by 3.4 percent at Vagar Airport, the Faroe Islands.
In total, 372.4 tonnes of air cargo passed through the airport.
September proved the most expansive month, with cargo volumes up 42.6 percent, to 36.8 tonnes.
Due to very demanding approach and take-off procedures and a short runway allowing limited operations with aircraft not larger than Boeing 737 only, the airport's capacity is strictly limited despite a general need for more air cargo traffic to and from the north Atlantic country.
