Süleyman Demirci, managing director of Germany-based service provider Wisskirchen Logistik, says airfreight is more than a boon to Germany’s economy — it is the economic engine. “Given the continuing demand for German goods, especially in high-quality segments, we assume that international air cargo will continue to grow at an estimated growth rate of about six percent, even though handling volumes in 2012 decreased temporarily by 2.2 percent to 4.3 million tonnes,” he says. Facilitating such growth has led numerous German airports to expand their cargo facilities, Demirci reveals.
