Apr 29, 2014 (newstodate): Since April 2013, Finnair Cargo has operated its second European freighter hub at Brussels Zaventem Airport - and it has produced good results.
The Brussels cargo hub has delivered a positive contribution to Finnair's Asian network, with cargo tonnage growth - accumulated over 12 months - increasing 20 percent in Germany and 252 percent in Belgium.
With the carrier's cargo capacity to increase by 50 percent with the Airbus A350 deliveries during 2015-20, Finnair Cargo needs a home market stretching beyond Finland, and Brussels is now a crucial and integral part of Finnair Cargo's platform.
-With the hub at Brussels we have gained 35 percent in cargo volumes to and from China, and the operation at Brussels now generates 20 percent of our total cargo volume, Juha J�rvinen, Finnair Cargo Mng Dir, told newstodate in March 2014.
