DHL Reports Resurgence in Middle East Air Freight as Fuel Surcharges Ease
DHL Global Forwarding has noted a significant increase in air freight activity across the Middle East. This growth is primarily driven by the easing of fuel surcharges, which has made air transport more cost-competitive. The lower costs are making air freight a more attractive option compared to ocean shipping, particularly for time-sensitive cargo. Key markets such as the UAE and Saudi Arabia are leading this trend, with rising demand from the technology, consumer goods, and industrial sectors. DHL anticipates this positive momentum will continue as fuel prices stabilize in the region.
