Air freight, also known as air cargo, is a transportation mode used to deliver fast speed shipments via charter or commercial air carriers. It can be delivered globally as goods sent from consignors to consignees or sellers to buyers. Moreover, it is handled along the chain by numerous entities, such as express carriers, aircraft and postal operators, regulated agents, haulers, and ground handlers, with varying responsibilities. At present, air freight is assisting in contributing to economic development across the globe. Air Freight Market Trends:
Air freight is utilized for delivering non-perishable goods like jewelry, clothing, automotive parts, and perishable items, including fruits, vegetables, and meats, which require quick delivery. Besides this, it plays a crucial role in the distribution of vaccines through a well-established temperature-sensitive distribution system and cutting-edge technology and procedures. This, in confluence with the burgeoning aviation industry, is bolstering the growth of the market. Additionally, other modes of transportation, such as marine, rail, or road transport, generally take days or weeks to deliver different items. However, transporting goods using air freight saves time and offers a high level of security. It also requires less packaging than other transportation methods to reduce the weight limit. This, coupled with the growing popularity of consolidated air freight services, is positively influencing the market. Apart from this, key players are increasingly focusing on geographical expansions and mergers and acquisitions (M&A) to expand their customer base. This, along with the integration of the internet of things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) in the air cargo supply chain and the rising import and export of goods among numerous countries worldwide, is facilitating the growth of the market.
