Capacity and load factor data available in Xeneta can be found under the Capacity & Load Factor Vs. Rates tab in Market Trends.The data available under this tab provides detailed insight into current and historical capacity and load factor changes, and allows you to see how they correlate with both short and long term rates on the largest global air freight corridors.Load Factor, Capacity and Rate data is provided by Xeneta's subsidiary CLIVE Data Services and is updated weekly.Featured Trade LanesXeneta's air freight capacity and load factor data is available for 7 key global trade corridors:Asia Pacific — North AmericaChina — Europe & Middle EastEurope & Middle East — ChinaEurope & Middle East — Hong KongEurope & Middle East — North AmericaHong Kong — Europe & Middle EastNorth America — Europe & Middle EastNavigating Capacity and Load Factor DataThe data presented in the Capacity & Load Factor Vs. Rates tab is made up of a table with a list of largest global air freight corridors and a dynamic chart that can display multiple data points for the selected corridor.Available Data PointsDepending on what data you'd like to compare, you can select from up to four available data points to be displayed on the chart: Short Term Rates — rates from contracts that are valid for less than 32 daysLong Term Rates — rates from contracts that are valid for more than 87 daysCapacity Index — available capacity on the air freight market on the selected trade lane during a given weekThe Capacity Index reference value of 100 is based on the average value for calendar weeks 10-13 in 2019.Dynamic Load Factor — capacity utilization on the selected trade lane, representing the amount of cargo that was actually flown in either weight or volume (whichever is the highest) during a given weekThis allows you to quickly and dynamically compare between different types of data for your selected trade lane and see the correlation between dynamic load factor and capacity, or between capacity and long term rates.To understand how to read the capacity and load factor data on the chart, let's take a look at a few examples.Understanding Capacity IndexIf the Capacity Index is at 60% during a specific week, that essentially means that there was 40% less cargo capacity available on the air freight market compared to the average, “normal” amount:Capacity Index on Europe & Middle East to Hong KongThe opposite works the same way — if you see 130% capacity, the market had 30% more space available for booking on that specific week:Capacity Index on Europe & Middle East to North AmericaUnderstanding Dynamic Load FactorThe dynamic load factor value of 50% shows that the flights that took place during the selected week were on average only half-full:Dynamic Load Factor on Europe and Middle East to China
