Cargo business up in the North


Cargo operations remained strong as Winnipeg airport (Manitoba Province, Canada) and partners helped move vital goods in and out of the community. The number of cargo plane landings increased by 1.85% in Q3/2020 compared to the same period in 2019. The airport also welcomed a steady flow of large cargo aircraft from around the world, keeping Manitoba connected to global markets.

 

Even further to the North, Alaska's hub Anchorage (ANC) reports a 25% increase in cargo tonnage in the third quarter this year, compared to Q3/2019. As of the end of September, 2.5 million t of cargo has touched down at ANC in 2020 (+13.6%).

 

In the first quarter, ANC was the 38th busiest airport in the USA based on aircraft operations. Thanks to the strong cargo traffic, it is now the eighth busiest airport. (ah)
