Demand for global air freight rose 5 percent in July, at the fastest rate in almost 18 months, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) said last week.
The positive result in spite of subdued global trade, IATA said.
“July was a positive month for air freight – which is an all too rare occurrence. Despite that, we must recognise that we face some strong headwinds on fundamental aspects of the business,” IATA head Alexandre de Juniac said.
