The second quarter of 2013 brought a positive note as
world air cargo traffi c began growing again. Global air
trade continued to gather momentum in 2014, and by
July 2014, traffi c had grown 4.4% compared with the fi rst
seven months of 2013. Even stronger growth is anticipated
for the remainder of 2014 and all of 2015 as the world
economy and trade recover to long-term growth trends.
