The Shirika la Kimataifa la Usafiri wa Ndege (IATA) ilitangaza mahitaji ya afya ya abiria ya ulimwengu mnamo Julai na mikoa yote ikiripoti ukuaji. Jumla ya kilomita za mapato za abiria (RPKs) ziliongezeka 6.2%, ikilinganishwa na mwezi huo huo mwaka jana.
Wakati hii ilikuwa chini kutoka kwa ukuaji wa asilimia 8.1% kwa mwaka mnamo Juni, hata hivyo iliashiria mwanzo mzuri wa msimu wa mahitaji ya abiria. Kulingana na IATA, uwezo wa kila mwezi (kilomita za kiti zilizopo au ASKs) uliongezeka kwa 5.5% na sababu ya mzigo iliongezeka kwa asilimia 0.6 hadi kiwango cha juu cha Julai ya 85.2%.
"Sekta hiyo ilichapisha mwezi mwingine wa ukuaji thabiti wa trafiki. Na sababu ya kupakia rekodi inaonyesha kuwa mashirika ya ndege yanazidi kuwa bora zaidi kwa suala la kupeleka uwezo ili kukidhi mahitaji. Walakini, kuongezeka kwa gharama - haswa mafuta - kunaweza kupunguza kichocheo tunachotarajia kutoka kwa ndege za chini. Kwa hivyo, tunatarajia kuona kuendelea kupungua kwa ukuaji ikilinganishwa na 2017, ”alisema Alexandre de Juniac, Mkurugenzi Mkuu na Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa IATA.

• Asia-Pacific airlines’ July traffic rose 7.5% over the year-ago period, a slowdown compared to June growth of 9.6%. Capacity increased 6.0% and load factor rose 1.1 percentage points to 82.1%. Growth is being supported by a combination of robust regional economic growth and an increase in route options for travelers.
• European carriers posted a 4.4% rise in traffic for July compared to a year ago, down from 7.1% annual growth in June. On a seasonally-adjusted basis, passenger volumes have been tracking sideways for the past three months, reflecting mixed developments on the economic front and possible traffic impacts related to air traffic control strikes across the region. Capacity rose 3.9%, and load factor climbed 0.5 percentage point to 89.1%, highest among the regions.
• Middle East carriers had a 4.8% increase in demand for July, well down on the 11.2% growth recorded for June, although this mainly is attributable to volatility in the data a year ago, rather than any major new developments. The region has been negatively impacted by a number of policy measures over the past 18 months, including the ban on portable electronic devices and travel restrictions. July capacity climbed 6.5% compared to a year ago and load factor dropped 1.3 percentage points to 80.3%.
• North American airlines’ traffic climbed 4.1% compared to July a year ago.

Mstari wa Chini
“Nusu ya pili ya mwaka ilianza vyema. Mahitaji makubwa tuliyoyapata mnamo Julai ni uthibitisho kwamba majira ya joto ni wakati watu wanataka kusafiri, kukagua maeneo mapya na kuungana tena na marafiki na familia. Kwa bahati mbaya, kwa wasafiri wa ndege huko Uropa, majira ya kiangazi pia yalileta ucheleweshaji na tamaa, wakati kwa mashirika ya ndege, ilimaanisha kukubali kutofaulu kwa ratiba na nyakati ndefu za kukimbia. Hiyo ni kwa sababu uwezo wa trafiki wa anga haujaenda sambamba na mahitaji na kwa sababu watawala wengine walitumia fursa ya kipindi cha kilele cha trafiki kuzindua mgomo na kupungua kwa kazi. Wasafiri wanataka kufika kwenye likizo zao kwa wakati. Ni wakati uliopita kwa Tume ya Ulaya, Nchi Wanachama na watoa huduma za urambazaji angani kuchukua hatua za haraka kuondoa vizuizi vya anga za Uropa na kuwavunja moyo watawala wa trafiki wa anga kuadhibu wasafiri wa angani wakati hawafurahii kandarasi, "alisema Alexandre de Juniac, Mkurugenzi wa IATA. Mkuu na Mkurugenzi Mtendaji.
