Reduced Cargo Demand in US

I can not understand the reasoning behind ridiculously reducing the cargo demand in some of the US cities. I hope that this will be fixed asap, as this is nothing aligned with reality.

the really recent update, I think

Indeed, this reduction does not make any sense.

Hi there!

The source of the new cargo demand data is a US government agency so they should normally be reliable. Can you provide me with a concrete example (and maybe supporting data) where it does not make sense to you? So I can do a deep dive to verify it. Thanks!

Hey Cargo Friends, closed the business week earlier today EBT dropped from over 150 Mio to 20 Mio within 2 weeks after the update on Limatambo. Means it get’s time to adapt some schedules.

I can confirm the significant drop in cargo utilization. I am active on Idlewild and have most of my aircraft stationed in the US, where utilization has fallen by around 25-30%.EBITDA has fallen from just over 100 million to a loss of 7 million. I cannot see any such drop in China.I can’t imagine that traffic in the US has fallen so sharply…

@Fentlfan indeed US is the main source of the drop, the demand was updated for the US Market. I have started to move planes from the US to Asia

One example of many: MEM to RFD:


If that is the realistic volume in the US, then I will unfortunately have to give up my cargo airline.

I see the same on Riem. US cargo market has dropped so significantly that I do not even reschedule but simply cancel a large amount of planes.
