Jan 31, 2014 (newstodate): Counted together, 2013 was a good year for KLM Cargo/Air France Cargo/Martinair in the Nordic markets.
-As a group, we ended 2013 as the nr 1 airline group in export airfreight volumes in the Nordic with overall of 14 percent market share, and we ended as nr 2 in export airfreight volumes in all four Nordic countries, says Noud Duyzings, Director KLM/Air France/Martinair Cargo Nordic.
-In Sweden, the first half of 2013 was very tough but we managed to recover in the second half of the year, resulting in a stable development in terms of weight throughout the whole year. However, the yield developments of the Swedish market, and hence also our own yield development, is worrisome. Anyway, we ended as nr 2 with 13 percent market share in 2013.
-Even though the extreme competitive market environment in Denmark also continued in 2013, we have been able to hold our nr 2 position in this market. And ending at 15.6 percent market share, we lost only slightly and even exceeded our revenue budget expectations.
- The first half of 2013 was not so good in Norway. However, we improved considerably in the second half of the year both as to general cargo and the salmon business that remains worrisome in terms of yield developments.
-Despite the difficult start, we ended 2013 with 13.4 percent market share, higher than 2012. We are currently the only airline present with a small office and one Sales Manager on the West Coast of Norway, which will add potentials there in 2014 as well.
-Finland is definitely a strong ad-hoc market and difficult to compete in. However, we have been able to get quite a lot of project business, which boosted our figures a lot. We ended 2013 with 12.2 percent market share, gaining considerably compared to 2012 and jumping to the nr 2 position in the market, again seen from AFKLMP Group perspective, says Mr Duyzings.
