Asia Pacific Airlines announce subdued traffic in August

Preliminary traffic figures for the month of August released by the Association of Asia Pacific Airlines (AAPA) show international air freight demand remained relatively subdued (see Ti Dashboard – Air Cargo: Carriers).

For the region’s carriers, international air cargo demand, expressed in freight tonne kilometres (FTK), was 5.8% lower compared to the same month last year. Cargo capacity was reduced by 1.3%, resulting in a 3.1 percentage point decline in the average international freight load factor to 64.5%.

Commenting on the results, Andrew Herdman, AAPA Director General said, "Air cargo demand remains relatively weak compared to last year’s strong performance, with a 3.8% decline in freight traffic for the first eight months of this year."
