Feb 02, 2022 (newstodate): Postnord Sweden is now back at Sweden's Jonkoping Airport.
   Starting from January 31, 2022, Postnord Sweden has launched a nightly flight on weekdays between Stockholm Arlanda and Jonkoping Airport, operated by the Swiss carrier Zimex that is already operating flights on other Swedish routes for the postal company with ATR aircraft.
   Until 2012, Jonkoping Airport thrived with Swedish postal volumes accounting for more than half of its cargo volumes - but from July 1, 2012, Post Sweden shifted from air to rail as part of its postal logistics.
   This put an end to using Jonkoping Airport as a postal "mini-hub" from May 2007 with five weekly night operations between Jonkoping Airport and Gothenburg, Malmo, Sundsvall, Umeaa and Arlanda by Amapola and West Atlantic.
   Today, Jonkoping Airport's cargo business mainly builds on FedEx, Time:Matters and DANX connecting the airport with Brussels, Karlsruhe, Oslo, Billund and Helsinki.
   In 2021, a total of 2,770 tonnes of cargo was handled at the airport, which is some five percent down, compared to the preceding year.
   However, the volume of cargo movements increased by 18 percent, y-o-y, to 1,206 operations - also due to six weekly flights with a Cessna Grand Caravan from the Slovenian airline Flycom Aviation to Augsburg, in Germany, with corona test samples transported by road into Jonkoping from Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmo.
