Several companies specializing in air freight are beginning to readjust their capacities on certain international routes, as rates show signs of stabilization, or even a slight decline, after a period of high tension. The adjustments mainly concern long-haul routes connecting Asia to Europe and North America.
According to industry sources, some operators are now favoring a more refined capacity management, occasionally reducing frequencies while maintaining larger aircraft on routes considered strategic. The objective is clear: to preserve yields in an environment where demand remains strong but less strained than in previous months.
The high value-added segments — pharmaceuticals, electronics, critical parts — continue to support activity, particularly for urgent and sensitive shipments. Freight forwarders observe a consistently active demand for these products, but note greater caution from shippers regarding costs.
This development marks a phase of normalization in the air cargo market, after several years of extreme volatility. For the companies, the priority remains balancing available capacity, cost control, and securing medium-term contracts with major industrial clients.
