The financial and operational backdrop in airfreight has intensified the pressure on planning and execution. Elevated cost structures combined with persistent capacity imbalances mean that even minor disruptions now cascade rapidly through pricing, routing decisions and service levels. What was once seen as episodic turbulence has become a structural feature of the market, forcing operators to rethink how resilience is priced and how quickly capacity can be repositioned across global networks.  “In logistics and transport, we use relationships to solve urgent problems, often at unsociable hours. We use them to drive mutual growth, not just firefighting. And we rely on them for flexibility when things go wrong,” explained Scott...

Global airfreight demand continues to show striking resilience, maintaining a stretch of year-on-year monthly growth through March even as geopolitical tensions, tariff uncertainty and regional disruptions continue to test the market’s stability.  While volatility has not disappeared, the industry’s ability to adapt has become increasingly visible. Capacity constraints linked to conflict zones and longer routing patterns are pushing operating costs higher, but they are also supporting stronger yields across key trade lanes. At the same time, widening trade imbalances are making network...

Mountain Air Cargo, a regional cargo airline operating on behalf of FedEx, is seeking a waiver from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as part of its fleet modernisation strategy, warning that key cargo services to several Caribbean islands could be jeopardised without regulatory relief.  The North Carolina-based carrier has formally petitioned the...

US air freight forwarders, airlines and wider supply chain organisations are raising concerns over potential plans to scale back Customs and Border Protection (CBP) operations at key US ports of entry, warning that such measures could trigger widespread disruption across time-critical logistics networks.  According to reports, the US Department of Homeland...
