Asia‑Pacific airlines carry 390.5M international passengers in 2025 (+9.4%); cargo FTKs up 5.6% despite tariff headwinds

Asia‑Pacific carriers carried 390.5 million international passengers in 2025, up 9.4% year‑on‑year, while air cargo demand rose 5.6% FTKs as e‑commerce and supply‑chain realignment offset tariff headwinds and geopolitical tensions across the region. Network load factors nonetheless slipped, tempering revenue upside.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • Air cargo FTKs rose 5.6% in 2025, driven by e‑commerce and supply‑chain realignment; but recent U.S. tariff changes are already weakening parcel volumes and could pressure cargo yields and capacity utilisation.
  • International traffic reached 390.5 million (+9.4%), underpinning revenue recovery, yet reported slips in network load factors may limit unit revenue and margin upside; see broader profitability and downside risk context.
  • Carriers and logistics providers are already adjusting capacity to capture redirected flows through freighter partnerships and short‑notice charters — examples include expanded freighter codeshares and charter growth.
