Analyst Review

The air cargo market in Russia is witnessing a remarkable surge in capacity driven by the adoption of a unified platform that connects forwarders and enhances availability of shipments. Not only is this trend impacting the movement of goods, but it's also affecting travelers with increased air seats availability. Meanwhile, neighboring Ukraine is experiencing a similar transformation in its hotels and rental cars sectors, facilitated by platforms like Kayak and Priceline.

This explosive surge in online shopping has reshaped the future trajectory of the air freight market, challenging IATA's 2021 e-commerce monitor figures and altering consumer behaviors worldwide. With a focus on global networks and adaptable capacity, the industry is embracing digitalization initiatives to enhance operational efficiency and shipment visibility during transit.

In this evolving global e-commerce landscape, strategic partnerships and cutting-edge technologies are becoming pivotal factors for anticipated growth. Air Canada Cargo and Rivo have entered a multi-year pact to bolster their e-commerce-focused delivery division. Similarly, Trexity, an on-demand delivery firm, is capitalizing on cargo prospects with a fleet expansion plan.

The first quarter of 2023 saw significant developments, with FedEx, UPS, The Emirates Group, and Cathay Pacific Airways Limited all ramping up their cargo tonne kilometers (CTKs), inching closer to pre-crisis levels. Despite challenges in profitability due to cost evolution influenced by the macroeconomic environment, including oil prices and labor markets, the air cargo industry remains integral to global commerce.

Cross-border trade continues to thrive, notably at China's Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport (SBI), a hub for cross-border e-commerce. From January to July, freighter flights surged, supporting the growth of international e-commerce. Partner airlines like Central Airlines and YunExpress bolstered operations, with additional freighter services and increased cargo volumes.

However, challenges persist in execution and capability, particularly in the time-consuming process of sourcing quotes. Third-party platforms are emerging to streamline this process, benefiting freight agents and airline partners alike.

Looking ahead, opportunities abound for logistics companies and airlines to capitalize on the value of the air cargo market, leveraging advancements in technology and strategic partnerships to drive growth and enhance efficiency in the transportation of goods on a global scale.
