Impact of economic crises on the air freight market
Air transport is one of the fastest means of transport for international trade. It has many qualities, particularly for the transport of perishable goods or value-added goods. For more than 30 years, organizing air freight has been one of QUALITAIR&SEA's main businesses.
The pandemic vector of the evolution of air freight
The air cargo market has been booming since the global pandemic. In 2020, the health crisis and the various confinements around the world had many consequences:
Explosion of e-commerce
Need for rapid delivery
Lack of stabilization of passenger flights which implies a transfer of freight transported in the holds of passenger aircraft to cargo aircraft.
The health crisis has forced the freight world to adapt and face the many logistical constraints linked to the pandemic. It is behind the reorganization of the global logistics chain , which has been totally disrupted in recent months by the Russo-Ukrainian conflict.
Lack of capacity on board aircraft for freight transport
QUALITAIR&SEA offers air solutions to international destinations, in particular thanks to allotments on board aircraft.
Nevertheless, the lack of availability remains one of the major problems of the post-covid recovery and seems to be accentuated since the start of the war in Ukraine and the sanctions taken against Russia.
This lack of availability is felt in the increase in the price of air and sea freight
Impact of economic crises on the maritime freight market
Long synonymous with profitability, shipping prices have increased significantly since March 2020.
The current geopolitical context is influencing the capacity of ships and the raw material and labor crises are generating significant congestion in the various international ports.
The example of the port of Shanghai in April 2022 with the closure of the city and its infrastructures explains the bottlenecks created by the desire to make up for the accumulated delay.
Port congestion or lack of containers are unfavorable factors for international freight forwarders. Unlike air travel, it is more difficult to benefit from preferential rates thanks to allotments on board ships, since the current situation makes it difficult to negotiate with shipping companies.
