Cargo
Finnair Cargo is responsible for the transport of air freight. In its operations it utilizes capacity on Finnair's scheduled passenger and leisure flights as well as Helsinki's gateway status. If necessary, capacity is also leased from freight operators outside the Group.
In financial year 2003, Cargo Traffic's unit revenues fell by 7.3 per cent and turnover by 0.6 per cent to 121.0 million euros. The operating loss was 1.6 million euros (operating profit 1.2 million).
The number of cargo kilos carried fell by 0.4 per cent. Growth continued to be strong in Asian traffic, where Finnair's MD-11 long-haul aircraft were utilized. Cargo capacity leased from outside the Group declined further, but leased capacity was gradually increased during the autumn. |
