→ 18 | Flughafen Berlin Brandenburg GmbH Belly cargo loading plays a major role in Berlin. Cargo on the way to China with Hainan Airlines Cargo Air freight in Berlin About 90,000 tonnes (3%) of air freight were transshipped through the cargo facilities of the Berlin airports in 2016. The target or source markets were half in Asia and a quarter in North America. The market launch of new electronic articles from China, rising purchasing power in Asia, increasing e-Commerce orders as well as the need for pharmaceutical goods led to strong growth in Berlin from the second half of the year. The cargo laden into the aircraft achieved around 47.000 tonnes and was therefore 8.7 per cent higher than the values of the previous year. The average growth of air freight in Germany was, on the other hand, only 3 per cent. Additionally, 4,600 tonnes of overnight airmail were flown to Stuttgart in fulfilment of orders from Deutsche Post World Net AG. A further around 38,000 tonnes were additionally dispatched by the airlines and forwarding agents as air freight by lorry to the European hubs of the airlines through the air cargo systems in Berlin.

Air Traffic in the Capital City Region | 19 ← The Cargo Center at BER is open already. Freight at SXF, TXL and BER Last year, about 38,000 tonnes of air freight as additional cargo into aircraft (+ 8%), 4,600 tonnes of airmail and about 38,000 tonnes in air freight substitute carriage were transshipped at Tegel Airport for airlines and forwarding agents by the two cargo handlers Wisag Cargo Service and Swissport Cargo Service. Larger aircraft at United Airlines, two daily airbuses A330 of Turkish Airlines to Istanbul as well as stronger imports from Abu Dhabi and Chicago have led to growth rates here of up to 25 per cent per month since the middle of the year. About 9,000 tonnes of air freight were flown by aircraft at Schönefeld (+ 11%) in 2016. The growth drivers were the freight charter to the ILA and the use of a second freighters at the express service UPS, which also connects the capital city region with the European hub in Cologne owing to increasing online orders. In addition, FedEx has flights connecting Berlin with its European hub in Paris every workday. TNT Express, which was taken over by FedEx in 2016, flies from its European hub in Liège via Berlin e.g. to Danzig in Poland. The German Red Cross organised a relief aid transport to the Greek Idomeni in March 2016 from its relief aid centre at Schönefeld Airport that is open 24 hours. Cargo at Schönefeld has been handled by the Cargo Center at BER since August 2013.
