IATA reveals that demand rose again in November

Asia-Pacific airlines saw 13.2% year-on-year demand growth for air cargo in November, the strongest growth amongst the regions, followed by Latin American (+11.6%), North American (+6.9%), Europe (+5.6%) and the Middle East (+3.6%). African airlines registered a 0.7% decrease in demand.
IATA director general Willie Walsh said that: “It was a good November for air cargo. All things considered, we’re looking to close 2024’s air cargo performance on a profitable note. Whilst this strong performance is likely to extend into 2025, there are some downside risks that must be carefully watched.”
