According to data for June released by the International Air Transport Association (IATA), total demand, measured in cargo tonne-kilometers, rose by 0.8% compared to June 2024 levels (1.6% for international operations).

Capacity, measured in available cargo tonne-kilometers, increased by 1.7% compared to June 2024 (2.8% for international operations).

"Overall, air cargo demand grew by a modest 0.8% year-on-year in June, but there are very differing stories behind that number for the industry's major players. Trade tensions saw North American traffic fall by 8.3% and European growth stagnate at 0.8%. But Asia-Pacific bucked the trend to report a 9.0% expansion. Meanwhile disruptions from military conflict in the Middle East saw the region's cargo traffic fall by 3.2%," said Willie Walsh, IATA's Director General.
