African Airlines beat others, increase cargo volumes by 1% in August 2022 

African airlines witnessed an increase of 1% in their cargo volumes in August 2022 compared to August 2021.  However, its Asian, North American, European, and Middle Eastern counterparts recorded a decrease of 8.3%, 3.4%, 15.1%, and 11.3% respectively. 

This was disclosed by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) in its August 2022 Air Cargo Market Analysis released on Friday.   

According to the report, the increase demonstrated the industry’s resilience amid economic uncertainties. 

Highlights of the report  
  • Asia-Pacific airlines  saw their air cargo volumes decrease by 8.3% in August 2022 compared to the same month in 2021. This was an improvement over the 9.0% decline in July. Airlines in the region benefited from slightly increased levels of trade and manufacturing activity due to the easing of COVID-19 restrictions in China. Available capacity in the region increased by 13.9% compared to August 2021, a significant increase over the 2.7% growth in July.  
  • North American carriers  posted a 3.4% decrease in cargo volumes in August 2022 compared to the same month in 2021. This was an improvement over the 5.7% decline in July.  The lifting of restrictions in China improved demand and a further boost is expected in the coming months. Capacity was up 5.7% compared to August 2021. 
  • European carriers  saw a 15.1% decrease in cargo volumes in August 2022 compared to the same month in 2021. This was the worst performance of all regions for the fourth month in a row. This is attributable to the war in Ukraine. Labor shortages and high inflation levels, most notably in Türkiye, also affected volumes. Capacity increased by 0.4% in August 2022 compared to August 2021.   
  • Middle Eastern carriers  experienced an 11.3% year-on-year decrease in cargo volumes in August. Stagnant cargo volumes to/from Europe impacted the region’s performance. Capacity was down 0.1% compared to August 2021.  
  • Latin American carriers  reported an increase of 9.0% in cargo volumes in August 2022 compared to August 2021. This was the strongest performance of all regions. Airlines in this region have shown optimism by introducing new services and capacity, and in some cases investing in additional aircraft for air cargo in the coming months. Capacity in August was up 24.3% compared to the same month in 2021. 
  • African airlines  saw cargo volumes increase by 1.0% in August 2022 compared to August 2021. This was a significant improvement in growth recorded the previous month (-3.5%). Capacity was 1.4% below the August 2021 levels.  
What IATA is saying about cargo 

It stated, “African airlines saw cargo volumes increase by 1.0% in August 2022 compared to August 2021. This was a significant improvement in growth recorded the previous month (-3.5%). Capacity was 1.4% below the August 2021 levels.  

“The International Air Transport Association (IATA) released August 2022 data for global air cargo markets which demonstrated the industry’s resilience amid economic uncertainties.” 

Willie Walsh, IATA’s Director General, said, “Air cargo continues to demonstrate resilience. Cargo volumes, while tracking below the exceptional performance of 2021, have been relatively stable in the face of economic uncertainties and geopolitical conflicts. Market signals remain mixed.

“August presented several indicators with upside potential: oil prices stabilized, inflation slowed and there was a slight expansion in goods traded globally. But the decrease in new export orders in all markets except the US tells us that developments in the months ahead will need to be watched carefully.”
