Cargo boost for Stansted Airport
13.02.10
Stansted Airport's cargo operation has enjoyed its fourth month on month increase in a row. More than 15,000 tonnes of goods were transported through the airport last month, a 14.2 percent increase on January last year.
Nick Barton Stansted's commercial and development director, said: ‘The upturn in cargo through Stansted is encouraging news, reflecting an increase in trade and economic activity. We have a world-wide reputation as an excellent cargo hub and we're proud to be the second largest London airport for cargo operations into and out of the UK.'
'Fed-Ex has their largest UK hub here and the airport is also home to BA's World Cargo operation. And with AirAsia X carrying goods on direct flights to Kuala Lumpur and beyond and other passenger airlines transporting items daily across their route networks, its not just freight operators linking Stansted onto the vast cargo networks around the globe.'
'Passenger numbers are also beginning to stabilise with rates of decline significantly down on 2009. We remain hopeful that this area of our business will also see a return to growth towards the end of 2010.'
