That is\u00a0significant\u00a0compared to the small increase of\u00a01.4% recorded in 2013 over 2012.<br \/>\nThe growth in December\u00a0increased\u00a04.9%, compared to December 2013.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0majority of the growth in 2014 was in the Asia-Pacific and Middle East regions, which respectively contributed 46% and 29% of the\u00a0increase in FTKs. Growth was recorded in all other regions, but was particularly weak in Latin America.<\/p>\n<p>From Tony Tyler, IATA\u2019s Director General and CEO:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cAfter several years of stagnation, the air cargo business is growing again. This is largely being driven by the uptick in world trade over the second half of 2014. Recent concerns over the health of the global economy and a corresponding fall in business confidence have not yet impacted air cargo. But it is a downside risk that will need to be watched carefully as we move through 2015.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDespite the improving growth trend, big challenges remain. Yields declined for the third straight year in 2014, with no immediate prospect of improvement. Cargo revenues remained basically unchanged at $62 billion, some $5 billion below their 2011 peak. To move forward, the industry is focusing on providing a stronger value proposition to meet evolving customer needs. That\u2019s what is driving efforts such as cutting shipping times, ensuring high-quality handling of temperature-sensitive goods, or benchmarking quality to improve customer transparency. It\u2019s all about delivering value as a supply chain with a strong vision of the future.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Growth: Air Cargo Ends 2014 From IATA (International Air Transport Association): The full-year air cargo data for 2014 shows 4.5% demand growth compared to 2013 measured by freight tonne kilometers (FTKs).
