LEIPZIG/HALLE Airport, Germany's second largest cargo hub, handled 105,100 tonnes of freight in November, representing a year-on-year increase of 9.4 per cent.
In the first 11 months of the year, the airport's cargo volumes rose by 8.1 per cent compared to the same period in 2016 to 1.03 million tonnes.
An airport spokesperson was quoted as saying in a report by London's Air Cargo News: "The growth process at the airport is primarily being driven by the volumes handled by DHL. The company has been maintaining the largest hub within its global network at Leipzig/Halle since 2008 and EUR655 million (US$773.47 million) has been invested in its centre.
"Handling services for express consignments, for which Leipzig/Halle is one of the most important transshipment sites in Europe, particularly increase in the pre-Christmas period due to seasonal influences."
The spokesperson added: "The freight charter business organised by other logistics companies also continued to develop in a positive way and registered significant growth. The network of routes for cargo flights covers more than 200 airports around the globe - and over 40 cargo airlines fly to them."
