The air cargo industry is expecting to finish 2024 on a high with the anticipation of a huge peak. This will be largely driven by high e-commerce volumes from Asia and tight capacity, with airfreight demand increasing by 13% year over year in July. Though some have recently tapered off, costs have remained high, with shipping rates from Shanghai to North America up by over 25% and from Shanghai to Europe up by 44% compared to last year. Due to the strong demands and much better margins, airlines are redeploying freighter aircraft to more profitable Asia-Pacific routes. This doesn’t come as a surprise to the industry. Global air cargo volumes have grown by double digits for eight consecutive months, with widebody freighters now fully booked through the end of the year. Amidst this, however, are concerns about how long the surge in air cargo demand will last, with signs of tapering demand in some regions and in a time of economic uncertainty. #AirCargo #ShippingRates #FreightMarket #SupplyChainManagement #CargoDemand #AviationNews
