   The total volumes handled were down by 7.6 percent, y-o-y, to 6,291 tonnes including 1,371 tonnes of imports that dipped no less than 18.3 percent, while exports volumes were down by 4.1 percent to 4,920 tonnes.

   September also proved to be the last full month with three weekly freighter services by Virgin Atlantic Cargo that had its last flight on October 2, 2022.
   As befits the airport's CEO, optimism still reigns, however:
   -We still see growth in volumes lifted on passenger flights and this is a positive trend, says Jan Hessellund, Billund Airport CEO.
   Actually, belly cargo is up 5.6 percent, y-o-y, according to airport statistics.
