Air cargo demand in Asia-Pacific region decreased by 7%
According to the Asia-Pacific Aviation Association (AAPA), the Asia-Pacific air cargo business continued to be affected by "weak demand driven by weak business confidence" in May.
"Air cargo demand remains weak, reflecting a generally weak global economic situation and a slowdown in manufacturing in particular," said AAPA Director General Subhas Menon. Looking ahead, he added:"Trade tensions are likely to weigh on the cargo market for some time to come, while air travel demand is expected to show resilience despite adverse external conditions."
亚太地区航空货运需求下降7%
据亚太航空协会(AAPA)表示，5月份亚太航空货运业务继续受到“疲弱商业信心推动的需求低迷状况”的影响。
5月份的初步航空货运量数据显示，按货运吨公里(FTK)计算，5月份航空货运需求同比下降7%。提供的运力上升了6%，导致当月平均国际货运载客率下降8.5个百分点，至60.1%。
AAPA总干事苏巴斯•梅农(Subhas Menon)表示: "航空货运需求依然疲软，反映出全球经济形势普遍疲弱，尤其是制造业放缓。”展望未来，他补充称: "贸易紧张局势可能会在未来一段时间内拖累货运市场，而尽管外部环境存在不利因素，但预计航空旅行需求将表现出弹性。”。
