AUG 30, 2005 (newstodate): Stockholm Skavsta Airport reports a sound growth in cargo volumes during this year's H1.
-While our total volumes may not be impressive, we still noted a growth between 10 and 12 percent during January-June, aggregating between 7,500 and 8,000 tonnes of air cargo, says Dag Berglov, Skavsta Airport cargo manager.
-As we have budgetted for some 15,000 tonnes in 2005, compared to year-end totals at 13,000 tonnes in 2004, we seem to be on track in a market that is generally marked by little expansion this year, he says.
-While most of the cargo remains truckedairfreight, flown cargo is important, too, and here SWE FLY's new route to Pakistan has provided a major boost. But we also have a certain volume of nightly courier traffic, and ad-hoc charters seem to be on the increase again, albeit modestly so, he says.
