The 4th
Edition of IATA’s Air Cargo Annual, released this week, provides an
unrivalled statistical overview and graphical “snapshot” of the air
cargo industry during 2000. Information on global, regional and country
market trends together with ranking of airlines and airports are
provided using a wide array of IATA data.
Air Cargo Annual uses the Cargo Account Settlement System (CASS)
database covering 28 countries, to provide detailed analysis of air
exports by destination city and country. It also ranks the top 10
airports, agents and airlines from those countries, enabling the effects
of alliances, consolidations, new routes and markets to be traced.
For forwarders, agents, airlines and investors, the Air Cargo Annual
provides unique help with investment and partnership questions. If you
want to know the fastest-growing export market from Korea, the busiest
airport in Italy or the most popular forwarder in Greece, only the Air
Cargo Annual has the answers.
Despite healthy cargo traffic growth during 2000, yields declined
markedly in US$ terms. CASS data shows an average yield of US$1.37/Kg
for export tonnage in 2000, a fall of 4.9% on 1999. European CASS
exports fared particularly badly, the 2000 average of US$1.36/Kg
comparing unfavourably with the 1999 level of US$1.47/Kg.
A global report with detailed coverage of 28 CASS countries, the Air
Cargo Annual is available for US$130, with a discounted price for IATA
members or accredited cargo agents. It can be downloaded from
