Mar 10, 2015 (newstodate): Finnair Cargo saw the total volumes down by 6.8 percent, y-o-y, in February 2015.
The decline was, however, caused by the shortfall of cargo on freighter operations since the turn of this year, leaving only cargo sold on Japan Air Lines' four weekly Boeing 787 rotations since March 2013 on the route between Tokyo Narita and Helsinki Vaanta Airport in cooperation with Finnair.
These volumes were 1,294 tonnes in February - less than half of freighter and JAL cargo volumes in 2014.
On the carrier's scheduled passenger flights, the trend was more positive, with an increase by 8.3 percent to 8,492 tonnes.
All segments, excluding domestic cargo, were thus up on last year, with the crucial Asian traffic loads 9.9 percent over last year, to 5,989 tonnes at a load-factor down 2.2 percentage-points..
Rising the most were the loads on the Transatlantic flights, up 14.4 percent to 773 tonnes, while the load-factor here dropped 16.2 percentage-points due to an uncovered increase in capacity.
After the two first months of this year, Finnair Cargo transported a total of 19.131 tonnes, down 12.1 percent, reflecting the 56.8 percent decrease in freighter and JAL cargo volumes.
On the Finnair passenger flights alone, volumes were 16,657 tonnes, up 3.8 percent.
Volumes on the Asian flights were 11,815 tonnes, up six percent, y-o-y.
