Full-year cargo demand reached a level just slightly below 2022 and 2019.<\/p>\n<p>Global full-year demand in 2023, measured in cargo tonne-kilometres (CTKs), was down 1.9% compared to 2022 (-2.2% for international operations). Compared to 2019, it was down 3.6% (-3.8 for international operations). Capacity in 2023, measured in available cargo tonne-kilometres (ACTKs), was 11.3% above 2022 (+9.6% for international operations). Compared to 2019 (pre-Covid) levels, capacity was up 2.5%.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, December 2023 saw an exceptionally strong performance as global demand was 10.8% above 2022 levels (+11.5% for international operations). This was the strongest annual growth performance over the past two years. Global capacity was 13.6% above 2022 levels (+14.1% for international operations).<\/p>\n<p>Another indicator to note included global cross-border trade which recorded growth for the third consecutive month in October, reversing its previous downward trend.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDespite political and economic challenges, 2023 saw air cargo markets regain ground lost in 2022 after the extraordinary Covid peak in 2021. Although full year demand was shy of pre-Covid levels by 3.6%, the significant strengthening in the last quarter is a sign that markets are stabilising towards more normal demand patterns. That puts the industry on very solid ground for success in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>But with continued, and in some cases intensifying, instability in geopolitics and economic forces, little should be taken for granted in the months ahead,\u201d said Willie Walsh, IATA\u2019s director general.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/namibia\">Namibia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Namibia.
