- Air freight was the bright spot in air transport for 2020, as the market adapted to keep goods moving—including vaccines, personal protective equipment (PPE) and vital medical supplies—despite the massive drop in capacity from the bellies of passenger aircraft.
- Industry-wide available cargo ton-kilometers (ACTKs) fell 21.4% year-on-year in 2020
- This led to a capacity crunch, with the industry-wide cargo load factor up 7.0 percentage points to 53.8%. This is the highest value in the IATA series started in 1990
- At the end of the year, industry-wide cargo tonne-kilometers (CTKs) had returned close to pre-crisis values. However, the yearly decline in cargo demand (CTKs) was still the largest since the Global Financial Crisis in 2009, at a sizeable 9.7% year-on-year in 2020
The top five airlines ranked by scheduled cargo ton-kilometers (CTKs) flown were:
| 1 | Federal express | (19.7 miljardia) |
| 2 | United Parcel Service | (14.4 miljardia) |
| 3 | Qatar Airways | (13.7 miljardia) |
| 4 | Emirates | (9.6 miljardia) |
| 5 | Cathay Pacific Airways | (8.1 miljardia) |
