2. Research background e Tallinn Airport and Estonian air cargo sector

Estonia has one international passenger and cargo airport: Lennart Meri Tallinn International Airport. The other airports are of comparably marginal importance (e.g. in Tartu). The annual cargo volume of Tallinn Airport is roughly 20,000 tonnes, being comparable with other major Baltic airports in Latvia and Lithuania, but over an order of magnitude smaller compared to major European air cargo hubs. In close proximity to Tallinn (~90 km), the relatively prominent air cargo center is Helsinki, Finland. More distantly, routing local cargo through Copenhagen, Frankfurt and Amsterdam is often used. The export volumes from Tallinn leave mostly either as “belly cargo” (i.e. with passenger airlines) or boarding a roadfeeder service (RFS) truck. Only seldom are few transit clients using dedicated charter flights. There is not much demand locally for dedicated air cargo lines with the exception of global integrator services.

7. Conclusion

The regional air cargo situation was in this paper approached through intertwined viewpoints of general development outlooks and volume projections, location quality evaluation and innovation factor inside the organizations of air cargo service. As the area of linkages between air cargo sector and economic development is an area with some prior research, we’d like to emphasize including various viewpoints into such analysis as the problem is rather complex and there is a need to tackle the topic with extensive and multidisciplinary approach.
