Global demand for air cargo has become volatile over the past few years due to the pandemic and geopolitical events. As a result, carriers had to adjust capacity levels. Now, the industry is being affected by rising inflation, interest rates and energy costs. Data gathered by market analyst firm Xeneta indicates that turbulent conditions caused global air cargo volumes to decline February through November 2022. In December, however, volumes stabilized. A weekly market analysis by Clive Data Services, part of Xeneta, found that chargeable weight fell 8% in 2022 compared to 2021, an improvement over the -13% in 2019. Meanwhile, the general airfreight spot rate registered its largest year-on-year decline of 35%. |
