Pumping
Traffic For August 16, 2021 |
 Top
notch air cargo professional Angel Ramirez,
Managing Director United Cargo
took the package and retired last week.  Angel
was a CO Cargo guy that moved
with the merger to Chicago
11 years ago and was a much beloved in the industry go-to fixture ever since.
From the Dominican Republic,
we hear Angel was most recently in Miami visiting his Mom, considering his
options moving ahead. Good luck “Good Guy” Angel
. . . Air Cargo
remains the only form of air transport currently operating at boffo
levels as compared to 2019. Last month worldwide air cargo delivered numbers
up 12% as compared to 2019
. . . Airbus
said it delivered 297 aircraft
during the first six months
of 2021 earning a 2.2B€
net profit. Airbus is also looking at a freighter
version of its A350
. . . The Delta variant
(COVID-19, not the airline) in China
is severely impacting travel as
both domestic and international are off
in August as compared to early
2020 levels. In Port news
operations at Ningbo
Meishan port terminal were suspended
on August 11, 2021, due to
a case of COVID-19. The terminal
handles about 25%
of the port’s container cargo.
The authorities have said that the operating systems will remain down until
Ningbo Municipal Health Commission can determine the extent of the outbreak.
This is the second shutdown
at a major Chinese port after the ShenzhenYantian
Port closure for over a month in May
. . . Everywhere there are glimmers of domestic
and regional travel with surging
numbers. As example, American Airlines Q2
pax totals down 20.6%
anticipates 90% domestic seat capacity
and 80% of international seat capacity,
but the reality check is that
in terms of what is flying long haul international, the situation everywhere
including Europe, the Americas,
the Middle East, Africa
and the rest of the world is a real bloodbath
of red ink. Intra-Europe
flights are at -30% compared
to 2019 while intercontinental service
landed at -47% during July
. . . Dublin
gateway said that July 2021 pax
dipped by 81%
versus July 2019. London Luton July pax down
84.7% on July 2019. International
traffic from and to
Middle-East in July of
1,739 flights is -43% as compared
to February 2020
. . . Jet fuel prices
flying high from 100 cts/gal
last autumn to nearly double@183
cts/gal this month . . . |
