Leipzig airport's cargo tonnage breaches record 1-million tonne mark
GERMANY's Leipzig/Halle International Airport handled a total of 1,002,875 tonnes of cargo during 2016, up from 988,240 tonnes of air freight the previous year.
"By breaking through the 1 million tonne sound barrier, Leipzig/Halle Airport is underlining its role as Europe's fastest-growing cargo hub," managing director Johannes Jaehn of Flughafen Leipzig/Halle GmbH, was quoted as saying in a report by London's Air Cargo News.
"Thanks to the latest infrastructure, a 24/7 operating permit for cargo flights, available space at and around the airport and the consistent
ongoing development of our range of services along the complete logistics chain, the site offers further growth potential in the long term too," he added.
In November the airport handled a record 96,081 tonnes of air freight, up 11.3 per cent year on year. Total air freight volumes between January and November rose by 6.3 per cent to reach a total of 955,267 tonnes.
