国际航空运输协会(IATA)发布2026年8月全球航空货运数据:以货运吨公里(CTK)计的总需求同比增长4.4%(国际业务增长5.3%);以可用货运吨公里(ACTK)计的运力同比下降0.1%(国际业务增长0.1%)。所有地区均报告增长,其中北美承运人增幅最高,达6.6%。IATA首席经济学家指出,强劲需求与更高载运率帮助航空公司收回部分高企燃油成本,收益率自4月以来首次环比上升。运营环境方面,7月全球贸易同比增长6.0%,连续33个月扩张;8月航空燃油价格环比上涨8.3%,同比高79.2%。贸易航线表现分化,亚洲—北美增长13.2%,而受中东冲突影响,海湾相关航线持续受扰。

At the ACI-LAC/World Annual General Assembly in Lima, ACI World called on governments to make increasing airport capacity part of long-term national infrastructure and economic planning, and to modernise the frameworks governing slots and market access. Director General Justin Erbacci said the industry will need to invest more than USD 4 trillion by 2055 just to meet growth already coming its way, but cannot simply build its way out of the challenge. Following its white paper earlier this month, ACI World argues slot policy is no longer a technical scheduling matter but a matter of strategic public interest.
