Apr 27, 2011 (newstodate): Sweden's Orebro Airport saw its cargo volumes up by 25 percent, y-o-y, to 25,000 tonnes in 2010 - but this year's Q1 volumes had their ups and downs.
-January and February were above last year's levels in cargo volumes, but March was definitely trailing behind. So even if we do not have the final figures yet, I suspect that these trends largely outbalanced each other, says Hakan Nilsson, Orebro Airport Director Marketing.
-Volumes in the first two months of this year comprised not least relief flights to Japan and Libyan operations but eventually they proved to be less voluminous than expected. Shipments by Ericsson were also considerable, notably during January and February, again slowing down in March.
-Still, volumes developed positively again from the latter part of April, and indications are that this will continue into May.
-Having no scheduled freighter operators at the airport, we depend largely on relief and military flights. But efforts are still invested into attracting new operators to Orebro Airport. Only this is a most demanding challenge these days, says Mr Nilsson.
