Africa-Press – Tanzania. <\/strong><\/span>World air traffic posted a 55.5% year-on-year growth in February, despite lingering uncertainty over the global economic outlook, according to the International Air Transport Association (IATA).<\/p>\n

Air traffic \u2013 measured in revenue passenger kilometers, or RPKs \u2013 was up to 84.9% of its pre-pandemic level, or 15.1% lower than February 2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite the uncertain economic signals, demand for air travel continues to be strong across the globe and particularly in the Asia-Pacific region,\u201d Willie Walsh, IATA\u2019s director general, said in a statement this week.<\/p>\n

He stressed that the gap with the pre-pandemic period figure is narrowing every passing month.<\/p>\n

While all regions had higher figures compared to last year, Asia-Pacific registered the strongest annual hike of 105.4% in February.<\/p>\n

International traffic soared 89.7% from the previous year, with RPKs reaching 77.5% of the February 2019 level.<\/p>\n

Domestic air traffic increased 25.2%, nearly catching up to the pre-pandemic levels.<\/p>\n

Separate IATA data showed global demand for air cargo, measured in cargo ton-kilometers, fell 7.5% compared to February 2022, but was 2.9% higher than pre-pandemic levels.<\/p>\n

Capacity \u2013 measured in available cargo ton-kilometers \u2013 was up 8.6% compared to February last year.\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b<\/p>\n
