Jan 23, 2014 (newstodate): A survey by IATA among airline CFOs and heads of cargo in January 2014 bodes well for this year's air cargo industry.
The growth in cargo volumes is expected to pick-up over the next 12 months, at rates not seen since mid-2010, which reflects recent improvements in world trade growth and increases in business confidence, the survey says.
Cargo yields are also expected to remain unchanged this year, despite expectations of stronger volume growth, probably reflecting the continued over-capacity in most markets.
The survey results for cargo were positive and reflect important developments in the demand environment.
Respondents reported seeing growth in air freight volumes over recent months, which is consistent with freight data.
The outlook for cargo volumes continues to improve, with more than 66 percent of respondents expecting an increase in demand over the next 12 months.
This is the biggest expected rate of increase since mid-2010, a very strong year for cargo, IATA says.
