WorldACD Weekly Air Cargo Trends (week 20) – 2026
27 May, 2026
Air cargo tonnages from Asia Pacific rebounded strongly, as expected, in the second full week of May after dropping during ‘super golden week’ national holidays in East Asia in early May, in what was a rare relatively stable or predictable week after nearly three months of enormous turbulence.
According to the latest weekly figures from WorldACD Market Data, chargeable weight from Asia Pacific bounced back with a +11% week-on-week (WoW) increase in week 20 (11 to 17 May), taking volumes from the region back up to their level prior to Labor Day holiday period in China and various national holidays in Japan and South Korea. That +11% WoW rebound is an exact repeat of the recovery in tonnages from Asia Pacific in week 20 last year.
