According to international air cargo data released Tuesday by the Korea Airports Corp., Parata Air carried 228 tons of cargo in the first week of this month. Volumes have climbed steadily, from 113 tons in the third week of last month to 168 tons in the fourth week and 202 tons in the fifth week.
The airline has pursued the strategy since last year, expanding passenger routes while increasing use of belly cargo space on passenger aircraft. Focusing on Japan and Southeast Asia routes, it has sought e-commerce shipments and demand for transporting fresh foods, gradually building its cargo revenue base.
A Parata Air official said the carrier has maintained stable load factors in the passenger segment during the January peak season while also raising cargo load rates by optimizing flight schedules. Passenger and cargo operations complement each other, the official said, strengthening revenue stability.
