ICAO affirms air cargo recovery with 4.6pc increase thanks to bellyhold help
THE UN's International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) figures show that 2014 saw global scheduled air freight traffic increase of 4.6 per cent against the 2013 growth figures of 0.4 per cent, reports Britain's Air Cargo News.
Asia-Pacific was still the world's biggest air cargo market with a 40 per cent share in terms freight tonne kilometres (FTKs), with Europe coming in at 22 per cent and North America at 21 per cent. Fastest growth was in the Middle East with 11.3 per cent.
Growth in bellyhold capacity could well be positive too, as global aircraft departures rose very sharply year on year, reaching a record 33 million flights during 2014, up around one million flights year on year.
