Oct 02, 2018 (newstodate): Unusual for Denmark's Billund Airport, the monthly cargo statistics September 2018 show a remarkable decline in both import and export volumes.
In September the airport handled a total of 6,282 tonnes of cargo, down 7.8 percent, y-o-y, including 2,198 tonnes of imports, down 6.3 percent, and 4,084 tonnes of exports, also down 8.6 percent.
After this, the airport has handled 54,725 tonnes of cargo during the first nine months of this year, which is still 3.3 percent up on 2017.
-In September 2017, exports beat all expectations with a 17.2 percent increase to 4,466 tonnes, while imports were also up by eight percent to 2,346 tonnes. This was a remarkably steep rise which may be behind this year's surprising drop in statistics. An other factor is that September 2017 actually had one extra working day, which also translates into "lost" volumes on integrator traffic in 2018, says Jan Ditlevsen, Billund Airport VP Cargo.
-By the end of September 2018 we are still some 1,700 tonnes ahead of the total volumes in 2017, so I am quite confident that we will set a new record this year, says Mr Ditlevsen with unswerving optimism.
