In the context of anemic growth on the global scale, Schiphol\u2019s numbers represent \u201cstrong mid-year growth,\u201d according to Europe\u2019s third biggest cargo hub.
\nThese numbers reflect a regional trend, with European freight posting remarkable growth in the first two quarters of 2016, up 41.7 percent to 90,991 tonnes, compared to 64,197 tonnnes in the same period in 2015.
\nApril was a particularly strong month, with cargo volumes reaching 137,666 tonnes. This represents a 6.8 percent increase, year-over-year, from 128,843 tonnes in April 2015. Cargo throughput for H12016 was 796,801 tonnes, compared to 784,567 tonnes during the first half of 2015.

\nJonas van Stekelenburg, head of cargo at Schiphol explained that the airport benefitted from the addition of new carriers such as Jet Airways, as well as growth among existing carriers such as DHL. \u201cAsia is a very important market for us\u201d he added, noting that \u201cSchiphol remains an attractive hub for carriers from the region.\u201d
\nThe strong European results reflect new carriers servicing Schiphol, as well as busier schedules for extant services. Recent success stories include Silk Way, a new carrier that ships to Asia via Baku, and AirBridgeCargo, which has recently extended services from Schiphol and ships via Moscow.
\nAsia is Schiphol\u2019s biggest market. Freight along this route picked up in June, and showed only a 5.8 percent dip over the first half of the year, with 276,312 tonnes from January to June 2016, compared to 293,293 tonnes in the same period in 2015.
