Mar 24, 2006 (newstodate): Several non-state owned airport in Sweden will suffer if a proposal on withdrawal of state subsidies is passed by the Swedish parliament.
Among these airports is Orebro Airport, Swedens' fourth largest cargo airport.
-In 2006 we will receive 2.7 million Swedish Crowns in subsidies from the Swedish state out of total income of 58 million, meaning that even if a shortfall of two million is a nuisance, it is by no means a threat to our continued operations, says Kjell-Aake Westin, Orebro Airport Director.
-Our cargo operations receive no subsidies at all, and we are seeing cargo traffic increasing every year. Currently we have some 15-20 weekly operations with large cargo aircraft like Boeing 747, AN-124 and IL-76 aircraft, he says.
-Expect for our curfew on Chapter 2-operations between 22 and 06, we have no problems with these aircraft, including the IL-76 that is a regular caller at our airport, primarily flying for various military and peace-keeping institutions, says Mr Westin.
