Freight? Most airplanes I can see are either the JetAir or CityJet-flights, private jets or training aircraft... Which ones take freight with them?
Or is the luggage of passengers counted as freight?

Trucked freight counted also?

I guess most Diamonds are carried along by passengers, either on regular routes or individual basis.

Trucked freight counted also?

Coming in and getting out by truck, so not passing on a plane?

A 15% increase doesn't mean a lot: it can go from 100kg to 115kg, or it could be in tonnes. Nevertheless, I'm curious how the freight is counted as there's almost never a cargo-plane in ANR...

SN doesn't have any cargo plane and reports freight performance every month!

Hello

Guys commercial airliners also take cargo

2 examples:

I knew in the past Thomas Cook flew fresh fish from BRU to Egypt on their charter flights and even a way better example. Icelandair flights are mostly full of fish, that is one of the main reasons they took B767's so they could increase the cargo capacity.

And does CityJet and/or TUI?

Hello

Cityjet yes, 100%. And if TCAB is doing it I am sure TUI is doing the same. Btw cargo can also be just post mail.

SN doesn't have any cargo plane

SN doesn't have any full cargo planes.

Correct. That's what I meant of course, just to point out that belly cargo is accounted for as freight.

PS: I noticed you tend to avoid that, but I personally don't mind being quoted, even when I'm (partially? ) wrong.

Appreciating the personal note - but indeed I learned to play the ball, not the player.

To get back (a bit) to topic: having had some contacts in the diamond trade, I reckon most industrial diamond - either natural or synthetic - travels with parcel services like DHL or such. No idea about jewel grade diamonds (always natural) though, and I understand that is where the big money is.

Luggage: Yes / Trucks: not any more
ANR handles 10x more freight than CRL, and 10x less than OST.
Year 2016: 2.179.900 kg - July 2016: 205.200 kg

'Real' freight remains very limited, but nevertheless:

For TUI I can confirm they take some freight. What it is I can not say, but at least some coffins (little disrespectful I know, but you can hardly call a dead person a passenger)

I guess these coffins are especially to destination Nador? Deceased Moroccans who have expressed their wish to be buried in their native country...

Happy to see that, at long last, they have added a French version.
