Middle East air cargo to grow by 7.5% in 2025: IATA

Maja Marciniak, Senior Economist, Policy Analysis, IATA, disclosed, “The Middle East air cargo sector is all set to grow by 7.5 % this year, positioning itself as a link in global supply chains, facilitating efficient trade between Asia, Europe and Africa. This momentum reflects the region’s investment in infrastructure, connectivity, and innovations across its aviation and cargo hubs. Air cargo may reach 72.5 million tonnes as 87 per cent of global imports remain untouched by new tariffs. Air cargo continues to play a vital role with over 72 million tonnes forecast to move by air in 2025.”
