This is vouched by the <strong>global air cargo<\/strong> figures, which have grown by<strong> 4.1%<\/strong> in April 2018, as compared with the same month the previous year. According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), this trend is set to continue, with moderate growth.<\/p>\n<p>There are several reasons behind these data, one of which is unquestionably the <strong>5.1% rate of growth in<\/strong> <strong>the global air cargo transport capacity<\/strong> during the same period, surpassing demand for the second time in 21 months. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iata.org\/pressroom\/pr\/Pages\/2018-05-30-01.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">These data have been provided from the IATA<\/a>, <strong>forecasting 4% growth in the sector for the 2018 financial year.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>However, the association is wary of rising oil prices and the rise of protectionist rhetoric, urging for the opening up of borders both to individuals and to trade.<\/p>\n<p>Despite some differences, all regions reported year-on-year growth in air cargo transport. <strong>Latin America <\/strong>leads the way, with <strong>growth of 10.6% year-on -year,<\/strong> followed by: The Middle East (+7.3%), Africa (+5,6%), Asia Pacific (+3.9%) and North America (+3.2%). In last place is <strong>Europe<\/strong>, with growth of <strong>2.4%<\/strong>, although this figure is double the rate of growth from the previous month.<\/p>\n<h2>Cargo yield increase<\/h2>\n<p>According to data from <a href=\"https:\/\/aircargoworld.com\/allposts\/worldacd-reports-serious-growth-in-air-cargo-business-yield\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WorldACD, a company providing market analytics from the air cargo sector<\/a>, 2018 will see a good level of growth in terms of cargo volume, as well as in terms of its performance, which will be even better. The report mentions serious market growth based on <strong>global air cargo performance<\/strong> in April 2018, up from<strong> 2% <\/strong>compared to March, and 16% year-on-year growth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cargo demand<\/strong> during the first quarter of 2018 <strong>grew<\/strong> <strong>by 5.6%<\/strong>, according to WorldACD, &#8220;compared to 4.6% growth in kilos, demonstrating the continued growth of the average air courier distance, despite being lower that a year ago.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The report highlights the very notable 17% year-on-year increase in <strong>pharmaceutical products as well as the 11% rate of growth in hi-tech<\/strong> shipments. However, growth for perishable goods, which constitute the largest specialised cargo category, lagged behind the global average of 4%.<\/p>\n<h2>Excellent prospects in Spain<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Air cargo transport in Spain kicked off 2018 with excellent figures<\/strong>, considering the growth already experienced in the previous period. The AENA network therefore continues <strong>to grow in terms of air cargo<\/strong>, an upward trend that is set to continue.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Air cargo across the Spanish airport network grew by<\/strong> <strong>13.8% in the first <\/strong>quarter of 2018, following the handling of a total of 235.9 million, yet another historical record in this period, according to data provided by AENA.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of ranking, <strong>Adolfo Su\u00e1rez<\/strong> <strong>Madrid-Barajas<\/strong> airport grew <strong>by 13% in the first quarter with 122.5 million kilos<\/strong>, followed by <strong>Barcelona-El Prat airport <\/strong>with <strong>38.1 million kilos (+10.1%)<\/strong>. In third place was <strong>Zaragoza<\/strong>, with <strong>37.7 million kilos (+31,8%)<\/strong>, followed by Vitoria, with 15.5 million kilos (+9,6%). Of particular note is how Zaragoza airport is dramatically catching up with Barcelona airport, this latter also enjoying positive growth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The total cargo handled nationwide grew by 3.82% between January and March, reaching 32.2 million kilos<\/strong>. International cargo, meanwhile, grew by <strong>15.55%,<\/strong> reaching 203.74 million kilos.<\/p>\n<p>The only negative point is found further on down the ranking, with only Tenerife Norte (-1.7%), Palma de Mallorca (-1.1%), Alicante-Elche (-41,7%); and Tenerife Sur (-14%) closing the quarter in negative figures. This means that <strong>the main airports across the AENA network recorded positive traffic figures<\/strong> in the period between January and March, good news that is set to continue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Air cargo transport is riding high worldwide.
