IATA: Global Air Freight data released

国际航空运输协会 (IATA) 于 2016 年 6.1 月发布的全球航空货运市场数据显示，以货运吨公里 (FTK) 衡量的需求同比增长 2015%。 这是自 XNUMX 年 XNUMX 月美国西海岸海港罢工造成中断以来的最快增长速度。

以可用货运吨公里 (AFTK) 衡量的货运能力同期增长了 4.7%。 载客率仍处于历史低位，令收益率承压。

7 月份的积极表现恰逢近几个月新出口订单出现明显好转。 一些独特的因素也可能有所贡献，例如当月三星Galaxy Note XNUMX设备的紧急更换，以及XNUMX月底韩进海运公司崩溃的早期影响。

“Demand for air cargo strengthened in September. Although with growth in world trade virtually at a standstill, the air cargo sector still faces some major hurdles. We did have some encouraging news. The conclusion of the EU-Canada Free Trade Agreement is good news for the economies involved and for air cargo. Growth is the way to overcome the world’s current economic challenges. The EU-Canada agreement is a welcome respite from the current protectionist rhetoric and positive results should soon be evident. Governments everywhere should take note and move in the same direction,” said Alexandre de Juniac, IATA’s Director General and CEO.

区域表现

Airlines in all regions except Latin America reported an increase in year-on-year demand in September. However results continued to vary considerably.

• 亚太航空公司 saw freight volumes increase by 5.5% in September 2016 compared to the same period last year. Capacity in the region expanded 3.4%.The positive Asia-Pacific performance corresponds with signs of an increase in export orders in China and Japan over the last few months. Seasonally-adjusted freight results for Asia-Pacific carriers are now trending upwards.
• 欧洲航空公司 experienced a 12.6% increase in freight volumes in September 2016. Capacity increased 6.4%. The strong European performance corresponds with an increase in reported new export orders in Germany over the last few months.
• 北美航空公司 saw freight volumes expand 4.5% in September 2016 year-on-year, as capacity increased 2.6%. International freight volumes grew by 6.2% – their fastest pace since the US seaports disruption boosted demand in February 2015. However, in seasonally-adjusted terms volumes are still just below the level seen in January 2015. The strength of the US dollar continues to keep the US export market under pressure.
• 中东航空公司 saw demand growth slow for the third consecutive month to 1.2% year-on-year in September 2016 – the slowest pace since July 2009. Capacity increased by 6.2%. Seasonally-adjusted freight growth, which had been trending upwards until the past year or so year, has now halted. This turnaround in performance is partly due to weaker conditions in the Middle East-to-Asia and Middle East-to-North America markets.  





• 拉丁美洲航空公司 reported a decline in demand of 4.5% and a drop in capacity of 4.7% in September 2016, compared to the same period in 2015. The ‘within South America’ market has been the weakest performing market so far this year with volumes contracting 14% year-on-year in August, the most recent month for which route specific data are available. The comparative strength of the US economy has helped boost volumes between North and South America with US imports by air from Colombia and Brazil increasing by 5% and 13% year-on-year respectively.
• 非洲航空母舰 saw freight demand increase by 12.7% in September 2016 compared to the same month last year – the fastest rate in nearly two years. Capacity surged year-on-year by 34% on the back of long-haul expansion in particular by Ethiopian Airlines and North African carriers.
