THE International Air Transport Association (IATA) has revealed data for June 2023's global air cargo markets, presenting the most moderate year-over-year demand contraction since February 2022, according to a press release.
Global demand, quantified by cargo tonne-kilometers (CTKs), experienced a 3.4 per cent decline in June compared to the same period in 2022 (with international operations down 3.7 per cent).
Over the first half of the year, demand decreased 8.1 per cent in comparison to the January-June duration of 2022 (with international operations registering an 8.7 per cent decrease).
However, June's demand was 2.4 per cent below the levels observed in June 2019, prior to the pandemic.
Meanwhile, available cargo tonne-kilometers (ACTKs), which gauge capacity, demonstrated a 9.7 per cent rise in June 2023 versus June 2022.
This growth rate was more tempered compared to the double-digit expansion witnessed between March and May.
This measured adjustment in capacity mirrors airlines' strategic decisions in response to the subdued demand climate. For the first half of 2023, capacity surged 9.9 per cent when contrasted with the previous year. In comparison to June 2019 (pre-Covid crisis), capacity is currently 3.7 per cent higher.
In June, both the manufacturing output Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) at 49.2 and the new export orders PMI at 47.1 remained below the pivotal 50 mark. This indicates a decline in global manufacturing production and exports.
Global cross-border trade encountered a 2.4 per cent year-over-year reduction in May, reflecting the prevailing cooling demand environment and challenging macroeconomic conditions.
The divergence between the annual growth rates of air cargo and global goods trade narrowed to down 2.6 percentage points in May.
Although the gap is at its smallest since January 2022, it still signifies that air cargo continues to grapple more profoundly than container cargo with the global trade slowdown.
