Sweden – Destination ranking ex Sweden October 2005

Sweden may handle an increasing amount of in-transit air cargo volume between the US and China by serving as a consolidation hub. As can be seen by the data below, Sweden air cargo exports to US cities such as Chicago, New York, Atlanta, and Los Angeles reached over 15,000 tonnes between January and October 2005**. Chinese airlines handling US bound cargo may benefit by using Swedish airports such as Arlanda since they will be able to maximize their loads going to and from the US. <table style="WIDTH: 100%" border="1"><tbody><tr><td style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Ranking </td><td style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Destination </td><td style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Tonnage Oct 05</td><td style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top">Cum Jan-Oct (Tonnes) </td></tr><tr><td>1 </td><td>CHI </td><td>600 </td><td style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top">5800 </td></tr><tr><td style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top">2 </td><td style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top">NYC </td><td style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top">530 </td><td style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top">4860 </td></tr><tr><td style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top">3 </td><td style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top">TYO </td><td style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top">407 </td><td style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top">3380 </td></tr><tr><td style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top">4 </td><td style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top">SHA </td><td style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top">318 </td><td style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top">3060 </td></tr><tr><td style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top">5 </td><td style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top">ATL </td><td style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top">310 </td><td style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top">1880 </td></tr><tr><td style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top">6 </td><td style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top">YYZ </td><td style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top">280 </td><td style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top">2590 </td></tr><tr><td style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top">7 </td><td style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top">HHK </td><td style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top">250 </td><td style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top">2240 </td></tr><tr><td style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top">8 </td><td style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top">JNB </td><td style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top">250 </td><td style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top">2110 </td></tr><tr><td style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top">9 </td><td style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top">LAX </td><td style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top">240 </td><td style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top">2700 </td></tr><tr><td style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top">10 </td><td style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top">DFW </td><td style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top">210 </td><td style="VERTICAL-ALIGN: top">1750 </td></tr></tbody></table>(Source: The LFV Group - Swedish Airports and Air Navigation Services 12-12-05) ** CASS only covers roughly ~60% of the market.
