Apr 14, 2010 (newstodate): Prague Ruzyne Airport considers air cargo a minor business that is not a key focus area.
-We have freight handling companies and freighter operators, but basically this business constitutes only, say, one or two percent of our total business, says Michaela Lagronova, Prague Ruzyne Airport spokeswoman.
-This is not to say that we will not more freighter operations here, but this is not our main focus.
-Whatever cargo business is operated at our airport falls with the cargo handling companies and the freighter operators, not with Prague Ruzyne Airport, says Ms Lagronova.
During the first nine months of 2009, the airport's two leading cargo handling companies generated a total of 41,33 tonnes of cargo, excluding mail, which was a decline by 18 percent y-o-y.
In 2008 a total of 67,183 tonnes of cargo was handled by the two companies, again excluding mail, and the total thus also does not comprise the volumes handled by DHL, also handled by Skyport.
