The international air transport association (IATA) recently released data on the global air cargo and passenger markets for February 2019, showing a 4.7% year-on-year decline in cargo demand measured by FTKs, the fourth consecutive month of negative year-on-year growth and the worst performance in the past three years. Freight capacity, measured by available tonnage (AFTKs), rose 2.7 per cent year on year, marking the 12th consecutive month that growth has exceeded demand. In the passenger transport market, total passenger km revenue (RPKs) increased 5.3 per cent year on year, but it was the slowest pace in more than a year, with a 5.4 per cent increase in capacity measured by available seat km, but a 0.1 percentage point decline in capacity to 80.6 per cent, indicating a moderate slowdown in passenger demand.



The data showed that the volume of cargo in the past four months was lower than the same period last year. The air cargo industry is in a downturn and will not improve any time soon. Growth in cargo demand continues to face significant headwinds, including pressure on the industry from trade tensions and the negative impact of a weak global economy, weakening consumer confidence and a decline in global export orders. While the rise of e-commerce and special cargo traffic has created new markets for air freight, weak global trade remains the biggest challenge for air freight. Iata called on governments to recognize the damage caused by protectionism and to move closer to opening borders to movement of people and trade.



In terms of regional situation, in February 2019, freight demand growth in all regions except Latin America shrank year-on-year. Air cargo demand in the asia-pacific region grew by only 11.6 percent year on year and capacity fell by 3.7 percent due to factors such as deteriorating production by exporters, continued trade tensions and China's slowing economic growth. North America was hit by a sharp drop in trade with China, with freight demand down 0.7 per cent year on year, the first time since mid-2016 that the region has seen negative growth. European freight demand shrank 1 percent from a year earlier, mainly due to weaker production conditions at exporters in Germany, the eu's economic powerhouse, and weak demand due to trade tensions and uncertainty caused by brexit.



The data showed that the airline passenger market fell back in February after a strong performance in January due to sluggish global economic growth. International air transport association (iata) director-general and chief executive Peter juniak said continued trade tensions between the world's major economies and uncertainty over the UK's departure from the European Union were weighing on the outlook for the passenger airline market.

数据显示，过去4个月的货运量低于去年同期。航空货运业正处于低迷时期，短期内不会好转。货运需求的增长继续面临着巨大的阻力，包括贸易紧张对该行业造成的压力，以及全球经济疲弱的负面影响、消费者信心的削弱和全球出口订单的下降。尽管电子商务和特殊货物运输的兴起为航空货运创造了新的市场，但全球贸易疲软仍是航空货运面临的最大挑战。国际航空运输协会呼吁各国政府认识到保护主义造成的损害，并向向人员流动和贸易开放边境迈进。







从区域情况看，2019年2月，除拉美地区外，其他地区货运需求同比增长均有所下降。亚太地区航空货运需求同比仅增长11.6%，运力下降3.7%，原因包括出口商生产状况恶化、贸易紧张局势持续以及中国经济增长放缓。北美对华贸易大幅下滑，货运需求同比下降0.7%，这是该地区自2016年年中以来首次出现负增长。欧洲货运需求较上年同期萎缩1%，主要原因是欧盟经济强国德国出口企业的生产条件较弱，以及英国退欧引发的贸易紧张和不确定性导致需求疲弱。







数据显示，受全球经济增长放缓影响，航空客运市场在1月份表现强劲，但2月份出现回落。国际航空运输协会(iata)总干事兼首席执行官Peter juniak表示，全球主要经济体之间持续的贸易紧张局势，以及英国脱欧带来的不确定性，对客运航空市场前景构成压力。我们的主要业务是国际航空货运和快递。我们拥有优秀的产品和专业的销售技术团队，我们为客户提供优良的产品、良好的技术支持、完善的售后服务。送货站后称重条的照片。(客户清楚的知道他/她的货物已经入库，并在第一时间得到准确的毛重和尺寸信息)
