Air Cargo Capacity Constraints Limit Response to Early Shipping Peak
An early peak season, driven by disruptions in ocean freight, is putting immense pressure on global supply chains. Shippers are increasingly turning to air and sea-air solutions to bypass maritime delays. However, the air cargo industry is facing significant capacity constraints, particularly on major trade lanes from Asia. Strong e-commerce demand and a slower-than-expected recovery of passenger flight bellyhold space are tightening the market. This lack of available capacity is causing freight rates to rise and limiting air cargo's ability to act as a relief valve for strained ocean shipping.
