Air Cargo Is Big Business Air cargo is a $40 Billion industry. During the next 20 years, cargo traffic is expected to more than triple, out-pacing passenger growth and offering airlines even more opportunities to generate revenue. While air cargo currently accounts for 13% of air transport revenues, some passenger airlines are earning more than 30% of their revenue from cargo. In today’s competitive environment, cargo offers a significant source of additional revenue – revenue that can make the difference between profit and loss. Air cargo is already growing faster than both gross world domestic product and passenger traffic, and this trend will continue.
