Air Freight Volumes Indicate Slowing Growth in the Second Quarter 2015 [1]

Submitted by Ronan on Tue, 20/10/2015 - 15:38

The latest update of global freight data collected by the International Transport Forum at the OECD through June 2015 shows that:

  • International trade related air freight volumes in tonnes of goods moved, considered as a lead indicator, fell during the second quarter in the United States while remaining below pre-crisis peak in the EU area.
  • Exports to BRICS and Asia remain locomotives of growth.
  • Surface freight volumes, measured in tonne-kilometres of goods transported, show signs of a slowing down in China and Russia.
