Nov 17, 2022 (newstodate): October did not in itself contribute positively to air cargo growth at Estonia's Tallinn Airport - but the overall trend remains strong in 2022.
In October, the airport thus handled 478 tonnes of cargo and mail, which was 6.8 percent down, y-o-y.
But in the period January-October 2022, the airport is still seeing its volumes up by 12 percent, y-o-y, to 9,406 tonnes.
Tallinn Airport remains determined to grow its cargo business; in the plans for Tallinn Airport is a new cargo city that is still in the construction phase with much work going on, while a crucial part of the plan, construction of a new apron to serve both cargo operators and MRO companies, was finalized by the end of 2021.
Also, the runway has been extended to 3,480 m; two cargo terminals are operating at the airport, and with the completion of the plans for a new cargo city, the total cargo handling capacity will increase by 100 percent compared to today's situation.
