The company attributed the volume decline to market trends but highlighted its cost reduction efforts, leading to a 9% decrease in cost per 100kg. DSV, in the third position, experienced a 21.3% drop in airfreight volumes to 316,456 tonnes, with air revenues slipping 51.4%and gross profit decreasing 29.2%.
