IATA: "The outlook for air freight markets remains broadly positive. Trade volumes in Emerging Asia have fully rebounded from weakness in Q1, and the Chinese government stimulus earlier in the year is now starting to have positive impacts on that economy. Global business conditions remain positive, even though further improvement has been limited by weakness in some part of the Eurozone. And although new exports orders have been volatile over recent months, levels still indicate growth in world trade, which bodes well for air freight demand," Source: Cpmpany statement, 02-Sep-2014.
