(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) In 2023, the volume of cargo transportation at the airports of
Uzbekistan will increase by 19% compared to last year and reach
95.3 thousand tons, Spot correspondent reports citing the board
chairman of Uzbekistan Airports, Rano Jurayeva, trend reports citing
kun .
Last year, the volume of cargo and mail transportation amounted
to 80.1 thousand tons, which is 62% higher than the pre-pandemic
figure in 2019. However, the annual growth was only 6%. According
to Rano Jurayeva, a modest increase in 2022 is due to the
reconstruction of the Navoi airport. After the completion of the
repair work, higher growth rates of cargo transportation are
expected.
“In 2022, there was a slight increase in freight traffic by 6%
in terms of tonnage - 81 thousand tons. This, first of all, is due
to the fact that we were not able to fully use the Navoi airport -
it has been under reconstruction since April, since the cargo
terminal, unfortunately, has fallen into disrepair. Its cargo
terminal was completely reconstructed there, and I think that we
will finish the reconstruction soon,” she said.
Jurayeva also informed about the involvement in the management
of an international cargo company from the UAE G Ports Ground
Handling Services Sole Proprietorship LLC, a structural subdivision
of Terminals Holding Sole Proprietorship LLC.
“In addition, last year we entered into a management consulting
agreement with a company from the UAE, which is advanced in the
field of logistics. We hope that they will help us introduce new
technologies and attract additional volumes of freight traffic,”
Jurayeva noted.
