MAY 11, 2005 (newstodate): In April, Finnair Cargo saw its total cargo volumes up by 15.5 percent, to 8,096 tonnes.
For the period January-April, the growth was 6.4 percent, to 28,878 tonnes.
The increase in April was again driven primarily by loads on the airline's Asian traffic, constituting 40.3 percent of the cargo volumes. This traffic grew by 11.6 percent to 3,264 tonnes in April.
Volumes on the airline's North Atlantic routes, constituting only 9.4 percent of totals, grew by 47.2 percent to 785 tonnes.
Also remarkable was the growth on Finnair Cargo's scheduled charter services, up 31.6 percent to 1,307 tonnes, constituting 16 percent of the company's total volumes.
Since November 26, 2004, Finnair Cargo has offered a weekly Cargolux freighter service from Luxembourg via Helsinki to Hong Kong and v-v under a blocked-space agreement with Cargolux.
The company cooperates with Emirates SkyCargo through a blocked-space agreement covering the route from Dubai via Gothenburg to New York, and v-v.
Finnair Cargo also operates a twice-weekly East European Freighter Service from Vienna to Helsinki by chartering an aircraft from DHL Aviation.
