Lower fuel prices drive down air cargo yield

Lower fuel charges have driven a decrease in worldwide US dollar-based air cargo yields for the first nine months of 2015.

This according to figures released today (Wednesday) by air cargo market data analyst, WorldACD, showing that that yields have dropped by 14% year-on-year.

Citing the WorldACD report,  Airfreight news site Air Cargo News pointed out that the worldwide average $/kg had remained at relatively the same level, highlighting the fact that declines may not have had as much of a negative impact on airlines as had been suggested.
