In 2020, China Airlines reported 8.8 billion freight available tonne kilometers (FATK), an increase of ten percent compared to 2019, despite the cancellation of passenger flights due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This growth came from the use of belly space on passenger flights to support cargo deliveries. In the past decade, the Taiwanese flag carrier's FATK has fluctuated, dropping sharply from 9.3 billion in 2010 to a low of 6.8 billion in 2012, before slowly recovering to 8.8 billion in 2020.
The available freight tonnes kilometers are the measure of a flight's freight carrying capacity. It is calculated by multiplying the freight weight in metric tons by the distance travelled in kilometers.
