Tradewinds Reports

TradeWinds is the definitive measure of health for the global air cargo industry.

Through a bi-annual survey of more than 500 shippers, freight forwarders and cargo airlines, TradeWinds monitors industry optimism:

  • How confident are those at the heart of global air cargo?
  • Are cargo volumes expected to rise or fall in the short- and long-term?
  • Which regions, cargo types and cargo modes are set to grow?
  • Which cargo carriers are tipped for success by their customers?

The research findings are a must-read for anyone in the air cargo sector who keeps their finger-on-the-pulse.  It is also a valuable resource for investors and policy makers using the air cargo sector as a barometer for wider economic health.

Whatever the reason for your interest, TradeWinds provides a solid base for decision making as it surveys those ‘in the know’ – users of Unisys’ Cargo Portal Services and readers of Air Cargo News.
