Feb 2, 2006 (newstodate): Swedish regional airport Orebro finished 2005 with a small incrase by three percent in cargo volumes.
In total the airport generated close to 20,000 tonnes of air cargo in 2005.
-We have seen about 250 charter cargo operations in 2005 with a trend towards fewer, but larger aircraft types, says Haakan Nilsson, Orebro Airport cargo manager.
-We would of course like to see more regular freighter operators at Orebro, but I expect this year's growth to come mainly from more cargo trucking activities, he says.
In September the Swedish in-night express cargo company Nordic Solution moved its SAAB 340 operations from Stockholm Skavsta to Orebro, which is also served by TNT.
Since September 1, 2004, Orebro Airport and Cargo Centre at Stockholm Arlanda Airport have cooperated on a project allowing the region's importers and exports to deliver export and pick up import shipments to and from Arlanda Airport at Orebro, entailing a significant reduction in leadtimes by avoiding own trucking to and from Arlanda.
Community-owned Orebro Airport is Sweden's 4th largest cargo airport.
