Oct 13, 2011 (newstodate): Slovenia's capital airport, Ljubljana Joze Pucnik Airport saw its total cargo volumes up by 31.9 percent, y-o-y, in the first six months of this year.
A total of 10,207 tonnes of cargo was handled, including 3,601 tonnes flown cargo, 4,629 tonnes of trucked cargo, 401 tonnes of air mail, and 1,576 tonnes of ship and road break-bulk cargo.
All categories of cargo increased during the period - the largest increase being recorded by ship and road break-bulk cargo which encompasses the reception of ship and road containerized cargo, the execution of customs procedures, and resorting by final recipient. This cargo has only been provided since May 2010.
-During the reporting period, Air France and Lufthansa continued to provide scheduled road cargo services, while occasional services were provided by Korean Air, Cargolux, ČSA Czech Airlines, Adria Airways and others, says Brigita Zorec, Ljubljana Airport Head of Corporate Communications.
-In addition to DHL, the express package operators UPS and TNT are also present at the airport. The latter two are particularly important, as they use the airport as a hub for South-Eastern Europe.
-Increases in cargo tonnage compared with the same period last year were recorded by individual scheduled airlines, which are replacing smaller aircraft with larger aircraft, while DHL carried greater quantities of ordinary air cargo, says Ms Zorec.
