World air cargo traffi c began to grow again during the
second quarter of 2013. By July 2014, traffic had grown
4.4% compared with the first seven months of 2013, which
is generally in line with the trends of world economic and
trade activity. Persistence of this trend through the end of
2014 would mark the fi rst full year since 2010 in which air
cargo traffi c has grown more than 1%.
