DURING the week of October 10-17, there were 3,612 international air cargo movements, signifying a robust 7.66 per cent increase in activity within the freight-based industry compared to the same period in the previous year, reports London's Aviation Source.
This data illustrates the continued thriving state of the international air cargo and freight market, with consecutive year-on-year growth over the last four periods.
Despite earlier doubts that cargo demand might dwindle after the Covid crisis, the decline has not been as pronounced as expected.
The year has been marked by many significant events, underscoring the exceptional performance of the international air cargo and freight industry.
Airlines and operators have been diligently establishing the foundations for what they believe will be prosperous business models for the future.
In April, DHL Express exemplified this trend by placing orders for nine formidable Boeing 777-200LR freighters, aligning with their broader modernisation, expansion, and fleet replacement agenda.
Meanwhile, Amerijet received two Boeing 767-300 converted freighters from ATSG in the US, supplementing their earlier March order for an additional six 757-200 freighters.
WestJet Cargo secured approval for their 737-800 freighters, and Alaska Air Cargo received their inaugural unit of this aircraft type.
Further attesting to the global demand for international air cargo and freight, AEI reached a significant milestone in August by completing its 600th freighter conversion.
This achievement underscores the industry's enduring vitality and relevance.
