Mother's Day Flower Rush Lifts Global Air Freight Volumes and Rates

The global air cargo market is experiencing a significant, seasonal uplift due to the annual Mother's Day flower rush. Data reveals a substantial increase in both freight tonnage and shipping rates in the weeks preceding the holiday. The demand is primarily driven by major flower-exporting regions, such as South America and Africa. Consequently, routes to key consumer markets in North America and Europe have seen the most pronounced activity. This yearly peak provides a welcome, albeit temporary, boost to the airfreight industry.
