Once again we are able to report positive signs in freight and air cargo shipments.
During the past few weeks past, we have reported the purchases of new air planes by major air freight carriers.
We are now able to show increases in the shipping percentages on a world wide basis. During March, airfreight traffic rose three point seven per cent according to Air Cargo News. Considering the disaster in Japan and the tumultuous Middle East, these numbers are both surprising and encouraging.
Latin American carriers and Middle Eastern carriers reported increase in air shipping over March of 2010.
With fuel prices on the rise, these increase show pent up demand for goods world wide. We were both surprised and encouraged by these numbers.
While tracking purchases both domestically and internationally, the world wide economy seems to be moving in a slow but steady increase.
The only noted part of the world with a decrease in air cargo for March appears to be for the African carriers. We should report that air cargo traffic is expected to increase for North Africa.
