IATA: Global air cargo sector sees growth in total demand despite trade disruptions

The post IATA: Global air cargo sector sees growth in total demand despite trade disruptions appeared first on TD (Travel Daily Media) Travel Daily Media.

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) released data for June 2025 global air cargo markets showing how total demand, measured in cargo tonne-kilometers (CTK), rose by 0.8 percent compared to June 2024 levels.

At the same time, capacity as measured in available cargo tonne-kilometers (ACTK) was up 1.7 percent from June 2024.

IATA director-general Willie Walsh remarked: “Overall, air cargo demand grew by a modest 0.8 percent 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 percent and European growth stagnate at 0.8 percent. But Asia-Pacific bucked the trend to report a nine percent expansion. Meanwhile, disruptions from military conflict in the Middle East saw the region’s cargo traffic fall by 3.2 percent.”

Stability and predictability are necessary for growth

Walsh consequently pointed out how the June air cargo data made it very clear that stability and predictability are essential supports for trade. 

He said: “Emerging clarity on US tariffs allows businesses greater confidence in planning. But we cannot overlook the fact that the deals being struck are resulting in significantly higher tariffs on goods imported into the US than we had just a few months ago.” 

Walsh warned that the economic damage of these cost barriers to trade remains to be seen. 

In the meantime, governments should redouble efforts to make trade facilitation simpler, faster, cheaper and more secure with digitalisation.

Given this scenario, several factors in the operating environment should be noted:

  • Year-on-year, world industrial production rose 3.2 percent in May and global goods trade grew by 3.5 percent;
  • The June jet fuel price was 12 percent lower year-on-year, a fourth consecutive year-on-year monthly decline. It was, however, 8.6 percent up on May prices; and
  • Global manufacturing rebounded in June, with the PMI rising above the 50 mark to 51.2. The PMI for new export orders improved by 1.2 index points but remained in negative territory under pressure from recent US trade policy shifts.

Regional performance as of end-June 2025

Asia-Pacific airlines saw year-on-year demand growth of nine percent for air cargo in June, the strongest growth of all regions, while capacity increased by 7.8 percent year-on-year.

North American carriers saw an 8.3 percent year-on-year decrease in growth for air cargo in June, the slowest growth of all regions; plus, capacity dropped by 5.1 percent year-on-year.

European carriers, on the other hand, saw 0.8% year-on-year demand growth for air cargo in June, while capacity increased 2.6 percent year-on-year.

Middle Eastern carriers likewise saw a 3.2 percent year-on-year decrease in demand for air cargo in June while capacity increased by 1.5 percent year-on-year.

Meanwhile, Latin American carriers saw a 3.5 percent year-on-year increase in demand growth for air cargo in June even as capacity decreased by 0.4 percent year-on-year.

Finally, African airlines saw a 3.9 percent year-on-year increase in demand for air cargo in June, and capacity up by 6.2 percent year-on-year.  

With regard to trade lane growth, air freight volumes in June 2025 increased for major trade corridors from/within Europe and Middle East-Asia. 

However, other relevant trade routes from/within Asia and from North America have decreased significantly in the most recent month.

‘A friendship worth flying for’ with Loganair

The post ‘A friendship worth flying for’ with Loganair appeared first on TD (Travel Daily Media) Travel Daily Media.

Loganair is calling on the public to help track down some of the country’s longest distance friendships across its network, as the regional airline looks to bring one deserving duo back together with complimentary flights.

Whether it’s childhood best friends who now live hundreds of miles apart, or university flatmates who haven’t seen each other since graduation, Loganair’s latest Season of Connections campaign is a celebration of friendship that endures, no matter the postcode.

The competition, launching this week on the airline’s Instagram and Facebook channels, invites people to share their story and explain why their long-distance friendship deserves a long-overdue reunion. The winning pair will receive return flights to each other’s city, helping bridge the gap.

It follows the huge response to Loganair’s Christmas giveaway, inspired by its festive advert, Loganair, Actually, offering one lucky winner a year of free flights across Loganair’s extensive network.

Now, Loganair hopes to bring another memorable reunion to life, this time between two friends kept apart by distance but still closely connected.

Lyn MacDonald, head of marketing and brand at Loganair, said: “This campaign is all about celebrating the real, meaningful connections that define our lives, and demonstrating the role regional travel can play in bringing people together. Whether it’s been months or years since friends last met in person, we want to help make that reunion possible.”

The competition runs until Saturday 17 August. To take part, visit Loganair’s Instagram or Facebook pages and follow the link in bio to submit your story.

The winning friends will be announced later this summer, with their reunion taking place in the autumn.

Loganair’s extensive network of flights allows passengers from across the UK and beyond to explore a wide range of destinations. The airline’s 21kg (15kg hold allowance plus 6kg carry-on bag) ensures passengers can bring all they need for trips to reunite with friends and loved ones.

The UK’s leading regional airline, Loganair connects communities across the UK, from remote islands like Orkney, the Isle of Man and Guernsey, to bustling business hubs including Manchester, Glasgow, and Edinburgh. Codeshare agreements with partner airlines, including British Airways and KLM, open up even more opportunities to connect with friends and family further afield.

Earlier this year, Loganair was ranked second in the Which? annual customer survey of short-haul airlines, achieving a 72% customer score. The airline received a five-star rating for customer service and four stars for booking, boarding, and cleanliness.

Jordan’s tourism sector has shown strong performance in the first half of 2025, according to the latest statistics released by the Jordan Tourism Board (JTB). The data highlights a significant increase in overnight tourist arrivals and tourism revenues, reinforcing Jordan’s status as a preferred travel destination in the region, particularly among visitors from the GCC countries.

The Kingdom recorded a 6% increase in overnight tourist arrivals from GCC countries, reaching 633,000 visitors during the first six months of 2025, compared to 597,000 in the same period in 2024. Saudi Arabia topped the list of GCC countries in terms of tourist numbers to Jordan, with 564,000 overnight visitors, reflecting an 8% increase compared to the first half of 2024. Meanwhile, the United Arab Emirates recorded a 15% increase in overnight visitors, reaching 10,000 tourists, whereas Kuwait saw an 11% decline to 32,000 overnight visitors.

Jordan’s major tourist sites also experienced a surge in footfall. The ancient city of Petra welcomed 200,000 foreign visitors, with a 17% growth. Mount Nebo recorded a 12% increase with 105,000 visitors, and Jerash attracted around 69,000 foreign tourists.

Commenting on the figures, Dr. Abdulrazzaq Arabiyat, Managing Director of the Jordan Tourism Board, said: “These positive results reflect the growing trust of international and especially Gulf tourists in Jordan’s tourism offering. Despite the geopolitical challenges facing the region, our proximity, as well as our shared traditions and cultural values, continue to make Jordan a natural and preferred destination for families and individuals from the Gulf. We remain committed to developing memorable tourism experiences that meet visitor expectations and look forward to achieving even stronger results in the second half of the year.”

Dr. Arabiyat added: “Jordan has always been and continues to be a welcoming country that opens its arms to guests, especially our brothers and sisters from the Gulf. The harmony between our traditions and their values creates a sense of home for Gulf visitors. Moreover, Jordan offers a safe and secure environment, making it an ideal destination for families seeking enjoyable holidays filled with enriching experiences.”

The Jordan Tourism Board continues to work actively on strengthening the country’s position as a leading tourism destination by offering tailored packages and programs that cater to the diverse needs of visitors—particularly from the Gulf market, which remains a key partner in the success of Jordan’s tourism sector.
