Nov 5, 2007 (newstodate): Russia's Moscow Domodedovo Airport has significantly updated its cargo business forecast.
The airport handled a total of 126,325 tonnes of cargo in 2006 and expects to increase to 128,500 tonnes this year, down on last year's forecast of 141,500 tonnnes.
For 2009 the latest forecast agrees with the former figure of 160,000 tonnes, but after 2009 the new forecast sees higher figures than earlier predicted, primarily due to the construction of new cargo terminals and the emergence of a cargo village, which will supposedly attract more traffic by operators of freighter aircraft.
Domodedovo thus expects to reach 200,000 tonnes in 2011, two years earlier than the previous forecast.
The airport expects to reach 300,000 tonnes of cargo 2015, five years earlier than foreseen only last year.
Both this year's and last year's forecasts are estimates of the cargo development up to 2020.
The earlier forecast had a total of 3000,000 tonnes of air cargo by 2020, but this year's cargo expectations run as high as 520,000 tonnes of cargo by the end of the forecast period.
