Looking at the latest report from IATA, the International Air Transport Association we may see that the demand for air transport has returned to pre-Covid-19 levels, even surpassing the indicators of 2019. The global demand, measured in tons of freight (CTK), increased by 9% compared to February 2019 and + 1.5% compared to January 2021.

These figures allow us to say that the volumes have returned to the 2018 levels seen before the US-China trade war. Analyzing the figures more deeply, we can see that the demand for air cargo in all regions except Latin America has improved compared to pre-COVID levels. The growth in North America and Africa are the strongest indicators.

European carriers report a 4.7% increase in demand in February this year compared to the same month of 2019. New shutdowns in Europe have not had a significant impact on cargo demand, and operating conditions remain supportive for air cargo.
