Pressemitteilung: Air Cargo Demand Accelerates in September, Up 7.7% / Geneva – The International Air Transport Association (IATA) released data for September 2026 global air cargo markets showing: • Total demand, measured in cargo tonne-kilometers (CTK), increased by 7.7% compared to September 2025 (+8.6% for international operations). • Capacity, measured in available cargo tonne-kilometers (ACTK), increased by 2.7% compared to September 2025 (+3.3% for international operations). “Air cargo demand rose 7.7% year-on-year in September, with growth across all regions.
