"Both passenger and cargo markets have continued to demonstrate resilience in the face of global challenges, including protectionist trade measures and ongoing supply chain constraints," AAPA director general, Subhas Menon, said.

The AAPA figures represent traffic data from 37 Asia-Pacific airlines.
