   A total of 6,334 tonnes of cargo was handled, with strong increases in both imports and exports.
   Imports were thus up by 12.2 percent, y-o-y, to 1,606 tonnes, while exports grew even more by 56.2 percent to 4,728 tonnes.
   Both imports and exports are thus clearly recovering after the bleak months in 2020 as the Covid-19 struck.

   Actually, 4,728 tonnes of exports in April 2021 was a five-year record-high volume for the month.
   During the first four months of this year, the airport has handled 24,293 tonnes of cargo, up 15.1 percent, y-o-y, driven by a growth by 21.1 percent in exports while imports were only slightly  up by 0.4 percent, y-o-y.
