Jan 07, 2011 (newstodate): The shortfall of ex-China exports in transit to Russia had a disastrous impact on the cargo volumes in 2010 at Estonia's Tallinn Airport.
After two months of growth in 2010, the next 10 months were marked by the sustained fall in volumes, and the year ended with a total of 11,960 tonnes of cargo and mail, down 43 percent, y-o-y.
On the positive side, however, export volumes through the airport grew steadily over the year and ended at 1,694 tonnes, up 29.8 percent y-o-y.
But cargo imports, which are mainly the ex-China transfer shipments, were down 50.5 percent to 9.279 tonnes in 2010.
December was no exception, with a total of 939 tonnes of cargo and mail, down 45 percent, and again dragged by 53.7 percent decline in "imports", 690 tonnes.
