  The rapid expansion of worldwide air cargo traffic reflects the growing importance of expedited transportation to both manufacturing systems and consumer markets, which are increasingly dispersed globally. Total worldwide air cargo traffic more than tripled between 1980 and 1995, growing by 6.8 percent annually. This expansion has been relatively steady, with growth between 1980 and 1985 averaging 8.1 percent per year, 9.6 percent per year from 1985 to 1990, and 7:5 percent per year from 1990 to 1995. Total U.S. air freight activity is estimated to grow from 38.2 billion pounds in 1996 to 89.6 billion pounds by 2010, an average annual growth of 5.9 percent. Domestic air freight traffic is estimated to grow from 27.4 billion pounds in 1996 to 59.2 billion pounds by 201 0 (5.3 percent annual growth), while overseas air freight traffic is projected to grow 7.1 percent per year and U.S.- Canada air freight traffic by 8.6 percent per year to a combined international total of 30.4 billion pounds.
