Mar 12, 2025 (newstodate): With the emphasis strongly on the passenger traffic, cargo still finds a place in Copenhagen Airport's Annual Report 2024.
   -Air cargo is crucial for Danish exports, particularly to markets outside the EU, with 55 percent of the value of non-EU Danish exports transported by air, the report reads.  
   -Globally, in 2024 the air cargo market grew by 12 percent compared to 2023. 35 percent of the air cargo at CPH was driven by the integrator segment, including major logistics providers, such as DHL Express and FedEx, which offer comprehensive door-to-door express shipping within their networks.  
   -After a slow start to the year, integrator traffic increased in the second half, supported by the introduction of new routes by DHL.
   -Additionally, 65 percent of CPH’s air cargo capacity was carried primarily as belly cargo on passenger aircraft, with a smaller share on dedicated cargo flights.
   -Driven by stronger Scandinavian exports combined with logistical challenges in the Red Sea
impacting sea freight, CPH’s cargo volume ended the year at index 116 relative to 2023. 

   In 2024, a total of 325,759 tonnes of cargo was thus handled at the airport, including flown and trucked cargo on legacy and integrator carriers.
   Reflecting the airport's significance as a key Nordic and Baltic hub, the volume of transit cargo in Jan-Dec 2024 reached 221,814 tonnes, constituting 68.1 percent of the total.
   With 52,007 tonnes, imports constituted 16 percent of the total volumes, while exports aggregating 51,938 tonnes were 15.9 percent of total volumes handled.
