E-commerce Boom Reshapes European Air Cargo Gateways
The massive growth of e-commerce, driven by platforms like Shein and Temu, is overwhelming Europe's traditional air cargo hubs. Major airports such as Amsterdam, Frankfurt, and Liège are facing severe congestion and a shortage of available slots. This pressure is forcing logistics operators to seek alternative, less-congested gateways across the continent. Consequently, secondary airports in locations like Budapest, Zagreb, and Madrid are emerging as viable new entry points, prompting cargo handlers to expand their infrastructure to meet the surging demand.
