July regional performance
Asia-Pacific Airlines saw demand for international air freight increase 4.4% in July 2021 compared to the same month in 2019, and an improvement from the 3.9% expansion in the previous month. Demand is affected by a slowdown in the dynamics of key business indicators in Asia and congested supply chains.
North American carriers showed a 20.5% increase in international demand in July 2021 compared to July 2019. This is in line with the performance of June (19.8%) and the strongest of all regions. New export orders and demand for faster shipping times underpin North American performance.
European carriers showed a 6.0% increase in demand in July 2021 compared to the same month in 2019. This is a slight decrease from the previous month (6.8%). Manufacturing activity, orders and supplier delivery times remain favorable to air freight.
Middle Eastern carriers recorded an 11.3% increase in international freight volumes in July 2021 compared to July 2019. This is a decrease from the previous month (15.8%). However, some routes still perform well, for example on the major Middle East-Asia trade routes.
Latin American carriers reported a 10.2% drop in international freight volumes in July compared to the period 2019, an improvement from the -21.5% drop recorded in June. Although Latin America continues to show the weakest regional performance, the comparison with pre-crisis traffic levels has been very volatile in recent months. Several trade routes to / from Latin America are functioning well, such as North-Central and North-South America and Europe-South America, confirming that demand for air freight in the region is recovering from the crisis .
