Sep 21, 2011 (newstodate): While keen to boost its air cargo capabilities, Finland's Vaasa Airport is seeing its passenger traffic growing steadily.
Latest news from Vaasa Airport is the decision by Flybe Nordic to launch services between Vaasa and Tallinn, Estonia, offering six weeekly rotations from November 2011.
The airport is currently served by four airlines - Finnair with flights to Helsinki, Blue1 to Helsinki and Stockholm as well as to Kittil� on a seasonal basis, and Latvia's airBaltic with flights to Riga and Umeaa.
The passenger operations allow for belly cargo as well, but all flights are served with regional aircraft only, offering limited capacity for the exporters in the region.
The airport is therefore now to survey the region demand for air cargo movements in order to develop cargo operations with partners and clients.
The airport is also to seek response from cargo handling providers that might be interested in locating at Vaasa Airport as cargo volumes grow.
Vaasa Airport, with one 2,500m runway, handled 288,000 passengers in 2010, down 2.1 percent, y-o-y.
