Africa-Press – Eritrea. <\/strong><\/span>World air traffic grew 52.4% from a year earlier in March, according to the International Air Transport Association (IATA) on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Air traffic \u2013 measured in revenue passenger kilometers, or RPKs \u2013 was 12% lower than its pre-pandemic level in March 2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cTicket sales for both domestic and international travel give every indication that strong growth will continue into the peak Northern Hemisphere summer travel season,\u201d Willie Walsh, IATA\u2019s director general, said in a statement.<\/p>\n

International traffic jumped 68.9% from last year, with RPKs reaching 81.6% of the March 2019 level.<\/p>\n

“This — the surge in international traffic– was led by a near-tripling of demand for Asia-Pacific carriers as China\u2019s re-opening took hold,” Walsh said.<\/p>\n

Asia-Pacific continued to post the strongest annual hike among other regions, up 158.9% year-on-year in March.<\/p>\n

Nearing its pre-pandemic levels for months, domestic air traffic rose 34.1% compared to a year ago, reaching at 98.9% of the March 2019 level.<\/p>\n

Separate IATA data showed global demand for air cargo, measured in cargo ton-kilometers, dropped 7.7% annually.<\/p>\n

March performance slipped back into negative territory compared to pre-COVID levels, down 8.1%, the IATA added.<\/p>\n

Capacity \u2013 measured in available cargo ton-kilometers \u2013 rose 9.9% compared to last March.<\/p>\n
