Shifting economic conditions, mixed results in January airport throughput
Cargo throughput results for the beginning of 2019 were mixed, with certain regions performing significantly better than others. Airports in North America saw the majority of growth in cargo volumes in January, while airports in Mainland China saw modest rebounds and European airports experienced a continued decline in cargo volumes following an overall diminished 2018 peak season. European airports reported global economic uncertainty as the main cause of weakness in air cargo figures, particularly as the deadline for Brexit is swiftly approaching.
