About This Statistic
Air freight tonne-kilometres: metric tonnes of freight transported multiplied by kilometres travelled; air mode only.
Values are fixed-year 2024 observations from the UN SDG Global Database. Only the stated series and dimensions are retained. Aggregates, missing values, non-finite values, and non-ISO geographies are excluded rather than estimated.
Methodology
Air freight tonne-kilometres: metric tonnes of freight transported multiplied by kilometres travelled; air mode only.
