Feb 27, 2012 (newstodate): January 2012 ended with a sustained drop in cargo volumes in the Swedish IATA export airfreight market, at least compared to January 2011.
A total of 2,207 tonnes of IATA export cargo was generated in Sweden, which was 30.2 percent down on January 2011.
All IATA CASS Top-10 carriers saw a negative growth in volumes in January, including No 1 on the list SAS Cargo that dipped 30.6 percent, y-o-y, to 1,084 tonnes, and No 2, Finnair Cargo that dropped 18.2 percent to 720 tonnes.
Lufthansa Cargo, No 3 on the list, was down 53.5 percent, y-o-y, to 652 tonnes, followed by KLM Cargo, down 22.6 percent to 601 tonnes.
No 5, Emirates was down 6.6 percent to 553 tonnes, followed by Korean with 461 tonnes, down 6.6 percent, and Thai with 453 tonnes and down 1.4 percent, y-o-y, as was also British Airways with 427 tonnes.
The strongest decline was marked by Martinair that dipped 58.7 percent, y-o-y, to 345 tonnes.
Overall, it should however be noted that January 2011 was unusual in a massive aluminum business from SAPA in the Swedish market, rendering comparisons rather misleading in the case of the airlines that took part in the extraordinary large uplift from Sweden.
Excluding the SAPA one-off business, the Swedish picture would be a bit more comforting and the decline certainly less than 30 percent, sources say.
