As outdoor activities become limited overnight, Bi-monthly: Vol 04 | Issue 04 | No. 22 people tend to stay indoors and at the same time start making Middle East, Africa and South Asia plans on their long summer vacation.

This is also valid for logistics sector. Passenger traffic may show signs of strength but cargo prospects for companies are not always bright. Although we received some good news on the performance of the global air freight markets especially during the last quarter of 2013, air cargo volumes have basically been flat since the beginning of the year. According to IATA, this is related to the overall business confidence and world trade – especially the impact of a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing, which is into its fourth month.
