Air cargo
In 2002 the handled cargo volume has
increased by more than 1300 tons when compared to the previous year. Riga
International Airport has never faced such an important increase in cargo
volume before.
Of all the carries providing
scheduled flights, “ČSA” achieved the highest growth of both cargo volume
and passengers figures; while “Aeroflot” had the highest rate of cargo volume.
Contrary to passenger figures, cargo volume dropped by 20.9% for “British
Airways” and by 10.5% for “Lufthansa” for the second year. Cargo volume also
slightly decreased also for “Finnair”. Nevertheless, “Finnair” is the major air
cargo carrier in Riga with 20% of the total cargo volume handled at the airport
((25% in 2001); followed by “Air Baltic” with 16% (21% in 2001); “SAS” with 15%
(18% in 2002); “ČSA” with 7% (6% in 2001); “Aeroflot” with 6% (5% in
2001); “Lufthansa” with 5% (7% in 2001); and “British Airways” with 2% in
