0

London Stansted welcomed over 2.3 million passengers to the airport during June this year, up 7.9% over the same month in 2016 and a new record for the month of June, surpassing the previous high set eleven years ago in 2006. 

The biggest year-on-year growth came from Denmark and Cyprus with Ryanair now serving Copenhagen and Jet2.com flying to both Larnaca and Paphos.

In the 12 months ending June 2017, Stansted’s passenger numbers grew by 6.2% over the previous year with the moving annual total now standing at over 24.9 million.

The volume of cargo passing through the airport continues to rise with over 22,000 tonnes of goods, products, and mail being transported during the month, equivalent to moving over 100 Statues of Liberty. The annual total now stands at nearly 259,000, up 4.3% over the previous year and an all-time record for the amount of cargo moving through Stansted in a 12 month period.

Making sure the cargo gets to the right and intended locations are very important within this business. A thorough inspection will help whatever is being imported/exported get to where it needs to be in one piece without wasted time. Using the right freight company will make transport a lot easier, especially if it has a good reputation for handling cargo. Researching and checking out such European freight services as plexusfreight.com will help businesses make the right decision in choosing how they want their goods to be moved.
