Oct 12, 2006 (newstodate): Confusion reigns over cargo statistics at Stockholm Arlanda Airport.
The official statistics from the Swedish CAA state a total of 31,125 tonnes of air cargo during the period January-August, 2006.
This would imply a drop by 30 percent, y-o-y.
The picture is, however, blurred by sustained problems with the cargo data reporting and the systems to generate the statistics, claims CAA.
-Preliminary figures suggest an increase by 15 percent in volumes in August, and I would venture the guess that the airport has seen an increase in volumes between six and seven percent during the first eight months of this year, says Bjorn Ragnebrink, LFV director air cargo development.
-With the start of operations at Stockholm Arlanda in September of Cathay Pacific Cargo and Korean Airlines Cargo the situation should brighten up even more for our cargo performance. But unfortunately our statistics still do not work satisfactorily, says Mr Ragnebrink.
