货运代理，收“货”英语。




Hello, 大家好，欢迎来到TALK英语小课堂，我是Katherine给我五分钟，让你的机舱干货满满。

不知道各位货代人最近有没有关注空运的最新动态呢？这里有一则来自于国际航空运输协会（IATA）的最新报告。







呃，中东的航空公司10月的运量与去年同期相比上涨了 9.4%，但是相较于火爆的前三季度，货运量还是大大下降了。

原因是什么呢？




This was due to a deterioration in traffic on several key routes such as Middle East-Asia, and Middle East-North America.




由于中东-亚洲和中东-北美等几条主要航线的拥塞，国际货运量整体下滑。看来，我们上期讲到的那几个主要空运航线都受到流量控制和地面运输的影响经历了不小的波动。




蓝天翱翔，也不是完全自由自在呢！不过因为市场需求量以及经济基本面支撑，空运总体仍是向好发展嘀。

在上一期的TALK小课堂里，我们已经了解了空运以及繁忙的航空线路，选好机场，选好航线，让你永不偏航。那么今天懂小姐就带领大家来看看玲琅满目的航空公司吧。

有的航空公司业务除了客运外，还包括货运服务，我们称其业务为Cargo airlines (or air freight carriers, and derivatives of these names) ，they are airlines mainly dedicated to the transport of cargo by air. Some cargo airlines are divisions or subsidiaries of larger passenger airlines.




一些大的航空公司也有专门从事货运的子公司或者部门。




那我们具体了解下，2020年根据全球货运吨数及飞行公里数，排名全世界前十的世界航空公司的信息。
