Brussels first half air cargo up 10pc to 245,000 tonnes, rises 16pc in June

BRUSSELS Airport has posted a 10 per cent year-on-year increase in cargo volume in the first half to 245,000 tonnes with June seeing a 16 per cent jump to 43,000 tonnes.

Bellyhold cargo growth was flat at 12,000 tonnes in June, but freighter loads jumped 41.6 per cent year on year in June to 13,726 tonnes, with integrator loads increasing 12.4 per cent to 17,200 tonnes.



Freighter volume increases were credited to the arrival last year of new full-freighter airlines, including Ethiopian Airways, Qatar Cargo, Yangtze River Express and KF Aerospace.



They all began general cargo operations in May. DHL's continued growth also contributed to the airport's success, airport official said, reported Atlanta area Air Cargo World.
