The February figure was however, slightly better than the 24.5 per cent drop in January.
Seattle-Tacoma International on the other hand, saw a bit of bright spark on the transpacific with Sea-Tac’s cargo volumes falling 11.5 per cent in February compared to a year earlier. But international freight actually expanded 5.1 per cent, aided by a 41.5 per cent jump in exports.
Sea-Tac’s gains were almost entirely a result of expanded service from Taiwanese carriers EVA Air and China Airlines.
