AAPA July airfreight demand surges with manufacturing growth
In what is beginning to sound like a skipping record, another airfreight group is reporting more good news about traffic. In this case, it’s the Association of Asia-Pacific Airlines (AAPA) saying that airfreight demand in the Asia-Pacific region continues to soar, according to preliminary results from the association’s carriers in July. Cargo traffic in the region grew at a faster pace than the July report from the prior year, with a 10.9 percent, year-over-year, increase in

WorldACD: ‘The beat goes on’ for airfreight’s good news
The strong growth story for the airfreight industry that began early in 2017, and continued unexpectedly through July, is “becoming somewhat monotonous,” reported WorldACD in its monthly airfreight market analysis for July.
