The air freight volume in Austria has been declining for a number of years. In contrast to other countries, the corona pandemic did not lead to a boom. On the contrary, because in the Alpine republic the volume continued to decline.

This trend continued in the first quarter of 2021. While 2020 tons of cargo were handled at Austrian airports in the first three months of 53.635, it was only 49.793 tons in the same period of this year.

It can also be observed that all airports, with the exception of Linz, are struggling with declining numbers. The Upper Austrian airport has been on the upswing in this segment for a long time can show growth.
