According to an article on aircargoworld.com, air cargo in the U.S. fell to it’s lowest monthly total in 3 years during the month of February.

The fall on the domestic side marked the third time in the last six months cargo business for the airlines has declined. Overall traffic measured by the Air Transport Association was up 0.6 percent thanks to a 1.7 percent gain in international air cargo.

That tepid international expansion was dragged down by a 3.2 percent slide in Pacific trade, the largest international market for the carriers.
