JUN 21, 2005 (newstodate): Swedish regional airport Orebro finishes off this year's H1 with a small increase in volumes, y-o-y.
-We had an exceptionally strong H1 in 2003, with some 150 charter operations at Orebro. Last year we were back to some 100 operations, and this level remains practically stable with a slight increase in 2005, says Haakan Nilsson, Orebro Airport cargo manager.
-The pattern this year seems to be an increase in the size of aircraft, with AN-124 and Boeing 747 freighters rather than AN-12 and IL-76 operations, he says.
Orebro Airport is owned by the community and not by the Swedish LFV.
-This probably adds to our flexibility that is crucial to air cargo operators. We do not expect the plans for new cargo terminals at Stockholm Arlanda to affect our business as we are located in a strong industrial region with several of Sweden's dominating exporting companies, says Mr Nilsson.
Cargo operations at Orebro started in 1996, and the airport is now among Sweden's major regional cargo airports.
