Aviation's Floral Rush: The Global Air Cargo Operation Behind Mother's Day
Mother's Day sparks a massive global air cargo operation, with airlines significantly increasing capacity to transport millions of fresh flowers. Key export hubs in Colombia, Ecuador, and Kenya become the epicenters of this logistical race against time. Carriers like Avianca Cargo, LATAM Cargo, and IAG Cargo deploy extra flights and capacity to meet the intense seasonal demand from markets in North America and Europe. The entire process relies on a sophisticated and unbroken cold chain to ensure the perishable bouquets arrive fresh. This annual peak highlights the critical role of specialized air freight in connecting global perishable markets under tight deadlines.
