Airlines and Forwarders Adapt Strategies as Air Cargo Market Enters a New Phase of Stability
The global air cargo market is transitioning from post-pandemic volatility to a period of stabilization, with rates returning to more predictable, pre-2019 levels. In response, both freight forwarders and airlines are strategically repositioning themselves for this new environment. Many are shifting their focus from the volatile spot market to securing long-term contracts to ensure more stable revenue. Airlines are also carefully managing their freighter capacity, including reconsidering the pace of passenger-to-freighter conversions. This market normalization signals a move towards a more traditional, albeit less frenetic, business landscape for the air freight industry.
