AVIATION
The International Air Transport Association (Iata) – the global representative body of the airline industry – has reported that global air cargo demand during March reached the highest level recorded since Iata started collecting such data in 1990. Demand in March was 4.4% higher than in March 2019, the last month of March before the Covid-19 pandemic. However, the figures also show that the growth in demand decelerated in March. Air cargo demand in March 2021 was only 0.4% higher than in February 2021. Moreover, February 2021 air cargo demand had been 9.2% higher than in February 2019. This deceleration could be ascribed to weaker performances by Asian-Pacific and Latin American operators.
