Hahn breaks monthly freight record

MORE airfreight was shipped through Frankfurt-Hahn Airport in November than ever before. At 21,660 tonnes, the month’s cargo traffic was 30 per cent above the amount shipped in October.“After getting a very good result for October, an increase of 30 per cent is excellent,” said the local state’s minister of finance and transport, Hendrik Hering. “The good start to the Christmas season and the outstanding capacities of the Air Cargo Germany airline based at Frankfurt-Hahn Airport, are considerable factors behind this new record.”The result is a 36 per cent increase year-on-year, from November 2008’s 15,885 tonnes.
