Cargo still saving overall performance
Thanks to robust demand for cargo, Finnair continued operating to most of its Asian destinations in August 2022. Despite the closure of Russian airspace, most cargo figures improved year-on-year and remained close to those of July 2022.
Available scheduled cargo tonne kilometres increased by 94.1% yoy (+6% month-on-month) and revenue scheduled cargo tonne kilometres grow by 57.6% (+0.8% mom), both due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on scheduled flights in August 2021.
Cargo-related atk increased by 50.4% yoy (+5.7% mom) and rtk by 17.3% (+0.3% mom). These figures also include the cargo-only flights which were almost entirely replaced by scheduled passenger flights carrying cargo in August. Strong demand for cargo capacity continued in August as the total cargo tonnes went up by 40.4% yoy (-0.4% mom). (ah)
