Meanwhile, volumes compared to the same period in 2020 increased by 22%. On a monthly basis, cargo volumes in June were up by 31% year-over-year. (see Figure 1).
Air cargo revenues were up 79% in the first half of 2021 compared to 2019. When compared to the same period in 2020, there was a 47% upswing.
