Dutch airport Schiphol saw cargo volumes for 2015 declining by 0.7% to about 1.6 million metric tonnes.
“From a weak beginning in the first half of 2015, Schiphol has seen improved traffic levels in the second half, ending with a total tonnage that is surprisingly close to our all-time record set in 2014. Considering the continuing weakness of China, our largest market, this is a very encouraging achievement,” Schiphol cargo director, Jonas van Stekelenburg, was quoted by Air Cargo News as saying.
Africa accounted for 10.9% of the airport’s total volumes.
