From January to October 2021, around 55,000 metric tons of cargo in cargo-only aircraft was processed at Munich Airport, an increase of 38 percent compared with 2019 and currently cargo-only traffic accounts for around 45 percent. This is all because of the regular flights by the Russian cargo airline AirBridgeCargo, which flies between the Bavarian capital and various Asian destinations six times a week with Boeing B747-8F jumbo jets.
The positive development in cargo-only traffic is also being spurred on by a newcomer: As of late, Moldova’s Aerotranscargo has been landing a jumbo freighter from Hong Kong in Munich twice a week. The airline is flying this cargo route on behalf of the international logistics service provider DB Schenker.
Jost Lammers, CEO, Munich Airport says, “That more and more freighters are touching down in Munich is a further demonstration of the enormous potential that our airport offers as a handling hub for air cargo. Considering the export-oriented economy of southern Germany and its close connections to markets and production sites all over the world, I still see considerable development opportunities for our airport here.”
