AIRLINES based in the Asia Pacific region saw their international cargo volumes decline by more than 15 per cent last year as the impact of the Covid-19 outbreak took its toll.
Statistics from the Association of Asia Pacific Airlines (AAPA) show that in 2020 international scheduled cargo traffic declined by 15.5 per cent year on year to 60.2 billion freight tonne kms (FTK).
Non-scheduled and charter operations, which AAPA does not include, would have helped offset some of the declines.
Meanwhile, cargo capacity fell by the higher amount of 24.4 per cent on a year earlier, pushing up the cargo load factor for the year by 7 percentage points to 59.4 per cent.
In December, cargo traffic fell by 6.4 per cent compared with last year to 5.8 billion FTK, while the load factor increased by 12.2 percentage points to 71.9 per cent.
AAPA said that last year cargo yields offered a welcome boost to operating revenues but added that airlines continue to face an existential crisis with commercial passenger operations remaining at a standstill, reports London's Air Cargo News.
