The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's Aviation Bureau conducted the "International Air Cargo Dynamics Survey" twice during the COVID-19 pandemic.

We will clarify the current status of the survey implementation, the characteristics and significance of the survey, and the differences from other air cargo transportation-related statistics!

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's Aviation Bureau conducts four statistical surveys as general statistics with the approval of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications: (1) "Air Passenger Movement Survey," (2) "International Air Passenger Movement Survey," (3) "Air Cargo Movement Survey," and (4) "International Air Cargo Movement Survey." Among these, (3) and (4) have been continuously commissioned and conducted by our company. (3) targets domestic air cargo transported to and from Japan, while (4) focuses on export and import air cargo to and from Japan (excluding transshipment cargo that is transferred in Japan). This article will clarify the implementation status of (4) "International Air Cargo Movement Survey," its characteristics and significance, and how it differs from other air cargo transport-related statistics. Next, we will examine the usage trends of "passenger aircraft cargo flights," which were actively operated in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, based on the most recent survey results from fiscal years 2022 and 2023. Finally, we will mention the expected changes in the next survey results scheduled for fiscal year 2024. *For more detailed information, please refer to the related links.
