Mideast air cargo traffic jumped 16.3% in January

  • Middle East: Tuesday, March 05 - 2013 at 05:48

International Air Transport Association (IATA) has said global air freight traffic rose 4.5% in January, driven by growth in Asia and the Middle East in an encouraging start to the year although it remains well below levels seen two years ago, Reuters has reported. The Middle East was the fastest-growing region in January with air freight traffic there increasing 16.3% from a year earlier after the addition of new capacity and routes in the region. Globally, the volume of goods shipped by air was still below levels reported in 2010 and 2011 due to weakness in the global economic recovery, said the chief executive of IATA, Tony Tyler.
