Apr 15, 2019 (newstodate): Latvia's Riga Airport is not exactly booming in cargo in 2019.
For the third month in a row, volumes dipped in March 2019, to 2,277 tonnes, down 23.9 percent, y-o-y.
This was thus the third consecutive month with a decline after decreases in January and February by 11.7 an 18.1 percent, respectively.
In Q1, 019, the airport has thus seen volumes down 18.3 percent to 6,552 tonnes.
The large difference in cargo volumes in Q1 2019 reflects the fact that Turkish Airlines was still operating its twice-weekly freighter service at Riga Airport, while moving the service to Lithuania's Vilnius Airport from April 19, 2018.
Only the May 2019 figures will thus show the true picture of air cargo developments at Riga Airport.
