Yearly data from 1970 to 2023, from the World Bank.
Lebanon's air transport, freight (million ton-km) was 34.4 in 2023, the latest year in the World Bank's World Development Indicators. That is down 50.93% from 70.1 in 2013 (6.87% a year on average, compounded).
| Value | Year | |
|---|---|---|
| Latest | 34.4 | 2023 |
| Five years earlier | 56.57 | 2018 |
| Ten years earlier | 70.1 | 2013 |
| Highest | 610.1 | 1983 |
| Lowest | 19.12 | 2020 |
| Average since 2014 | 43.28 | 2014–2023 |
| First recorded | 143.1 | 1970 |
Over five years it is down 39.2% from 56.57 in 2018 (9.47% a year on average, compounded). Since 1970 it is down 75.96% from 143.1 in 1970 (2.65% a year on average, compounded).
In 2023, Lebanon's air transport, freight (million ton-km) fell 5.1% on 2022 (from 36.23 to 34.4).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1993 to 2022), the average change was −0.8% and a typical year strayed about 27% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.2 standard deviations below that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 488.5% in 1987 and the biggest yearly fall was 83.4% in 1986. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2014 to 2023 the straight-line trend is downward, about 3.49 a year. A straight line explains 53% of the movement over 10 observed years.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
In 2023, Lebanon had the 74th highest value of the 160 economies reporting that year. Higher is not always better: for some indicators the lowest value is the one to aim for. See the full ranking.

Air freight is the volume of freight, express, and diplomatic bags carried on each flight stage (operation of an aircraft from takeoff to its next landing), measured in metric tons times kilometers traveled.
Limitations: While ICAO aviation data provide a globally standardized and comprehensive view of air transport activity, several limitations affect their accuracy and comparability. Data quality depends on the completeness and consistency of country reporting, which can vary due to differences in national statistical capacity, regulatory environments, and adherence to ICAO definitions. Some countries may not report all relevant data, leading ICAO to estimate missing values using historical submissions and published schedules, which can introduce uncertainty. Changes in airline registration, mergers, or operational practices may also affect the attribution of traffic statistics.
Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a sum.
