In contrast, the continuing depressed trend for airfreight in the region was maintained during July. Freight tonne kilometres (FTKs) fell by 2.6 per cent, “extending the prevailing period of weak market demand over the past two years”, the AAPA said, noting that during the first seven months of 2013, airfreight traffic had declined 2.4 per cent.
The AAPA’s director general Andrew Herdman said: “During the first seven months of the year, Asia Pacific airlines carried an aggregate total of 127 million international passengers, a solid 5.8 per cent increase compared to the same period last year.”
