The Air Transport Association of America (ATA) reported today that both passenger and cargo demand were down in March compared to the same month last year.

Compounding the softening demand for travel, U.S. airlines[2] saw cargo traffic – as measured by revenue ton miles – decline 21 percent year over year in March 2009, matching the decline measured in January and February and marking the eighth consecutive month of declining cargo traffic. Notably, cargo traffic in the Pacific region fell 28 percent. April 2009 cargo data is not yet available.

The ATA is the nation’s oldest and largest airline trade association, representing the nation’s leading airlines.
