December 05, 2016 - BRU Cargo figures

**Cargo Figures **
Brussels Airport has seen a difficult start in 2016 for its cargo figures, with a small decline in Q1 compared to last year. Figures saw a sharp decline in Q2 due to the terrorist attacks on March 22nd. As of May, figures started to recover again, especially those volumes transported on full freighter aircraft.
Since August, we are seeing again good overall growth figures of 6 to 8% per month . Full cargo volumes are making up for the loss in belly volumes due lower capacity and less wide body long haul flights. Especially Ethiopian Cargo, Singapore Airlines Cargo, Qatar Airways Cargo, Etihad Cargo and Emirates Skycargo are contributing to this growth compared to last year.
