AIR FREIGHT SLUMPS

AIR FREIGHT SLUMPS

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) said demand in global air freight markets, measured in freight tonne kilometres, decreased 1.8 per cent in January from the year-earlier month. It was the worst performance in three years.

“This is a worsening of a weakening trend that started in mid-2018, said Alexandre de Juniac, IATA’s director general and CEO.
‘Unless protectionist measures and trade tensions diminish there is little prospect of a quick rebound.”
