Bangladesh Air Cargo Rates Surge as Middle East Tensions Reroute Global Freight
Air cargo rates from Bangladesh to Europe and the US have nearly doubled due to ongoing disruptions in the Middle East. Traditional sea-air freight routes are being abandoned, forcing a shift to pure air cargo and causing capacity shortages. Airlines are also taking longer routes to avoid conflict zones, further tightening space and increasing operational costs. This has created significant congestion at major transshipment hubs like Dubai and Doha. The surge in pricing is putting immense pressure on Bangladeshi exporters, particularly in the vital ready-made garment sector.
