Sep 05, 2023 (newstodate): Billund Airport continues reporting modest increases in air cargo in 2023.
   In August 2023, the airport thus handled a total of 6,228 tonnes of cargo, an increase by 3.1 percent, y-o-y.
   The total volumes included 1,829 tonnes of imports, rising 11.1 percent, and 4,299 tonnes of exports, growing more modestly by 0.1 percent, y-o-y.
   While not specified, the increase in imports most probably reflects the impact of Maersk Air Cargo's five weekly rotations between Billund and Hangzhou, in China, picking up Chinese e-trade shipments for European distribution, while export loads on the company's eastbound flights are less impressive.
   During the first eight months of this year, the airport has seen total cargo volumes down 8.4 percent, y-o-y, to 47,928 tonnes, with imports volumes down 9.1 and exports down 8.2 percent, y-o-y.
