| 摘要： | Since the pandemic struck last year, air cargo has become sort of an economic lifeline for the airline industry. However, there are no good numbers. International Air Transport Association (IATA) data for global air freight markets shows that demand for air cargo decreased by 10.6% in 2020, compared to 2019-the largest drop in year-on-year demand since IATA started to monitor cargo performance in 1990. Global passenger traffic fell by 65.9% compared to the full year of 2019. "Last year was a catastrophe," stated Alexandre de Juniac, lATA's director general and CEO, upon releasing the data. "There is no other way to describe it. What recovery there was over the Northern hemisphere summer season stalled in autumn, and the situation turned dramatically worse over the year-end holiday season, as more severe travel restrictions were imposed in the face of new outbreaks and new strains of COVID-19." IATA adds that pre-pandemic, 60% of all international air-cargo capacity was in the bellies of passenger aircraft and that in 2020 that capacity shrank by almost a quarter. |
