Pumping
Traffic for July 20, 2021 |
 Number
one in the world, Qatar Cargo
adds WebCargo to its USA offering.
Qatar Airways Chief Officer Cargo Guillaume
Halleux declared: “Following our successful launch
across Europe, we are glad to introduce WebCargo across the U.S. We are
actively pushing for digitalization in air cargo as it brings in efficiencies
and provides multiple benefits for our customers such as 24/7 visibility
of price and capacity as well as real-time confirmation to name a few benefits.”
. . . Any
way you slice it, airline traffic remains at historic lows as compared to
2019, off 35% to 50% depending on which part of the world you are looking
at. In the hardest hit areas of South Asia,
to the emerging gateways of Europe,
to the fairly open skies of the U.S.,
where domestic U.S. load factor is near 90%
. . . Brightening skies above Atlanta
Hartsfield Jackson International Airport are expected this
month as the gateway comes back to handling about 90%
of the traffic that it did pre pandemic .
. . But across the board everywhere in the world, whilst
domestic travel is creeping upward, international travel remains in the
tank. European analysts say
that “normal” will not be anywhere near returning until 2024
is a sobering thought . . . The
picture brightens a bit looking at air cargo with numbers up 5% to 10% globally.
Still it seems the international flag routes are a black hole for many,
including as example those May figures from JAL
Group reporting international traffic off 93%
as compared to 2019 . . . But
a glimmer of light ahead from Nippon
is that ANA plans to operate
19% of its routes in August . . . While consumers
everywhere are shelling out more for petrol at the pump, the airline cost
for kero is now about where it was pre-pandemic at 1.91/gal .
