Apr 03, 2017 (newstodate): To look for cargo growth in March 2017, go to Denmark's Billund Airport: no less than 28.8 percent, y-o-y, to 6,587 tonnes!
Behind the dynamic figure lurks the fact, though, that the airport's volumes in March 2016 were down 9.9 percent.
Another factor contributing to the surprising growth in March 2017 was the early Chinese New Year that fell in the end of February, spilling some volumes over to the next month.
Anyhow, in March 2017 the airport's import volumes were up 15.6 percent to 2,339 tonnes, and the export volumes were up 37.5 percent, to 4,248 tonnes.
In March 2016, imports were up only 2.2 percent and exports actually declined by 16.4 percent.
In this year's Q1 the airport has seen volumes up by 13.3 percent, y-o-y, to 16,906 tonnes, including 5,889 tonnes of imports, up 7.5 percent, and 11,017 tonnes of exports, up 16.6 percent.
