The latest air freight data reveals a continued decline in cargo volumes from China and India to the United States during week 41, marking another consecutive week of reduced tonnage on these key trade lanes.

Whilst transatlantic routes face ongoing challenges, European markets are experiencing a notable uptick in demand. This shift in cargo flows presents both opportunities and challenges for freight forwarders navigating the evolving global trade landscape.

The sustained reduction in Asia-US air freight volumes reflects broader market dynamics, including inventory adjustments and changing consumer demand patterns. Meanwhile, European destinations continue to attract increased cargo traffic, benefiting from redirected capacity and stronger regional demand.
