AIR cargo volumes held steady in May, with Asia-Pacific lanes showing year-on-year growth, reports Mumbai's Stat Trade Times, citing WorldACD.
Week 21 tonnages were flat week on week, but demand was six per cent higher than in 2024, led by Asia Pacific-North America lanes (+19 per cent).
The largest volume decline came from Central/South America to North America (-23 per cent) due to post-Mother's Day seasonality.
Exports from China to the US fell 14 per cent over six weeks but rebounded to near-2024 levels in week 21 with only a five per cent decline.
China to Europe air cargo volumes rose 11 per cent over the same six-week window, despite a three per cent weekly dip in week 21.
The sector remains under geopolitical scrutiny ahead of the Munich air cargo conference, with China's role a major topic of discussion.
