Slight improvement in June stats

June statistics released by the
International Air Transport
Association (Iata) reveal
a 16.5% decline in freight
demand compared to the same
month in the previous year.
This is a moderate
improvement, albeit from
extremely weak levels, over May,
which was 17.4% below 2008
levels.
There has been some
improvement in world trade
and, after adjusting for seasonal
fluctuations, freight volumes rose
6% from the low point recorded
in December 2008.
However, the utilisation of air
freight capacity on international
routes remained very weak
(47.3%) in June.
