𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐀𝐢𝐫 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐨 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐏𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐃𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐝 As we enter the holiday season, air cargo demand continues to climb across major trade routes, with a particular surge from Asia Pacific to North America and Europe. This peak period brings unique pressures, especially with Vietnam’s rise as a primary export hub—a trend that has pushed rates up by as much as 60-65% from Vietnamese ports to North America and Europe. In recent months, the Asia-Pacific market has felt intensified demand despite a broader slowdown in manufacturing. Major cities like Shanghai, Hong Kong, and now Ho Chi Minh City, have seen sharp increases in cargo movements. Routes from Ho Chi Minh City to North America, for example, are up 360% year-on-year, driven by heightened eCommerce and tech product shipments.Capacity has expanded, with Asia Pacific–North America routes rising by 6% and European routes by 4%, yet congestion remains high in ports like Tianjin, Shanghai, and Hong Kong, placing ongoing pressure on freight capacity. Rates have thus risen modestly from China’s hubs (between 2% and 4%), and significantly more from Vietnam, as seasonal demand meets capacity constraints. Key Highlights: - 𝐑𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲 & 𝐕𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐦𝐞: Increased demand for eCommerce, perishables, and tech products has driven double-digit growth in volumes from hubs like Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Ho Chi Minh City. - 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡 𝐑𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬, 𝐓𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲: Rates from key Chinese hubs have increased by 2-4%, while peak rates from Vietnam have surged by up to 65%. - 𝐀𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐎𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: Sea-air routes through the Middle East are increasingly in demand as a cost-effective workaround for rate pressures and limited cargo space. 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐦 offers extensive airfreight, charter, sea/air, and land-bridge options to navigate these peak season challenges. Our well-established partnerships secure protected space on high-demand routes, ensuring competitive rates and customised solutions to meet each client’s unique requirements.
