August 04, 2021 at 2:58 pmIf airlines are depending on IATA to know their own Loadfactors, they should take a hard look at their management teams professionalism. IATA or Clive published loadfactors are nice to have but like most statistics published by associations or others, they are averages for a wide audience. Globally, traffic imbalances, destination mix, currency, and most of all ultra long haul pax trend, example say Chicago to Hong Kong or Pudong to London dictate specific reality. These global stats, be they volume or tonnage based, are not relevant for any airlines cargo management decision making process.
