Jul 28, 2023 (newstodate): With plans for a Cargo City adjacent to the country's capital Stockholm Arlanda Airport, Swedavia has big ambitions for air cargo. This is however not warranted by the current development..
   In June 2023, Stockholm Arlanda thus saw its total volumes down 16.7 percent, y-o-y, to 8,651 tonnes, including imports down by 17.9 percent to 3,521 tonnes, and exports also dipping by 15.8 percent to 5,310 tonnes.
   Summing up H1/2023 results, Stockholm Arlanda is thus still 15.1 percent behind last year's H1, totaling 53,202 tonnes.
   In January-May 2023, imports took the deepest drop by 16.4 percent to 21,384 tonnes, while exports were also down by 14.3 percent to 31,818 tonnes.
   Stockholm Airport is suffering from the suspension of Finnair's flights from the airport to destinations in the USA and to Thailand launched in October 2021 but stopped again from winter 2022/23 as Finnair instead invested its capacity in the strategic cooperation with Qatar Airways taking effect from November 2022, closing down its hub at Stockholm Arlanda Airport.
