GET AHEAD OF THE GAME, BOOK AIR FREIGHT SHIPMENTS THIS SUMMER

This summer, like many summers in the past, airlines will roll out more flights to meet passenger demand all over the world. This increase in flights also means that airlines will now need to maximize the space on those air crafts by selling more air freight cargo to fill the plane.

Airlines will do this in a number of ways, but mainly for the logistics world this means low, low summer rates.  So far this summer it seems the cheaper prices have not caught on to the logistics world per the numbers released by IATA for April and now May too.

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) released figures for global air cargo markets showing that growth has continued to flatline in May, broadly following the trend of the last 18 months.

Global freight tonne kilometers increased just 0.8% in May compared to a year ago. Capacity, however, increased by 2.1% causing load factors to fall to 44.9% – their lowest level since the post crisis recovery.
