The International Air Transport Association explained that demand for air freight rose last September by 9.4 percent on an annual basis, for the fourteenth month in a row.
The Federation said, in a statement today, that this increase is largely related to the increase in the payload capacity of international cargo aircraft by 10.3 percent, which came in light of the double-digit annual growth recorded for 41 consecutive months.
Willie Walsh, Director General of the International Air Transport Association, said:IATA“The growth achieved by air cargo markets in September calls for optimism about the future of the sector.”
He added: “Load volume continues to record unprecedented levels of demand, as it achieved a growth of 9.4 percent on an annual basis, and revenues also recorded an increase of 11.7 percent compared to last year and by 50 percent compared to 2019, and we expect to achieve a strong end to the current year in light of this data.” “.
