Aug 29, 2014 (newstodate): Russia's top-5 cargo carriers did see growth during the first seven months of this year - but at a slowing pace.
Statistics are not available on a monthly base, but while the top-5 carriers accounting for 78.9 percent of the total volume of cargo on Russian carriers in January-July 2014 saw their tonnage growing by 3.5 percent, y-o-y, during the period, this was below the figure - 4,5 percent - in H1 2014.
Actually only AirBridgeCargo continued to grow volumes by 23.1 percent during the seven months of 2014, to 289,293 tonnes, not least driven by steeply rising volumes of shipments of consumer goods from Russia's e-trade over eBay and similar portals filling two weekly Boeing 747 freighters over the Atlantic.
#2, Aeroflot was down 26.777,453 tonnes, Transaero was up 5.1 percent to 36,626 tonnes, Volga-Dnepr was down 39.6 percent to 20,962 tonnes, while S7 Sibir was up 4.6 percent to 20,728 tonnes.
All counted together, cargo on Russian airlines grew only 1.9 percent, y-o-y, during the seven months, to 552,910 tonnes.
The fastest rising carrier is now Atran, up 112 percent during the period to 7,181 tonnes, serving its Volga-Dnepr Group with regional and domestic logistics for the e-trade shipments on ABC Airlines.
