Measuring the health of the global air freight market is a difficult proposition, but fortunately, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) compile data to help achieve just that. In keeping with our experience at AirFreight.com, IATA reported that July was a truly encouraging month and the demand for global air freight increased by five percent for the month.

Global air freight capacity increased by 5.2 percent over the same period, an almost identical figure.
