International Air Transport Association (IATA) reports that air cargo now accounts for approximately 35% of global trade by value, emphasising its critical role in the economy. As carriers expand their fleet to meet increasing demand, they are also facing challenges related to capacity constraints, fuel efficiency, and the need for sustainable practices. This dynamic landscape will influence how air cargo operators strategise their growth and adapt to the evolving market demands.
“The growth of e-commerce has focused demand in certain key areas, especially on routes from China to Europe and the U.S. This has increased the need for large freighter aircraft like the Boeing 777F, Airbus A350F, and Boeing 747F, which are ideal for carrying the high volumes of cargo on these routes. As a result, these large freighters are becoming more important for supporting the ongoing growth of e-commerce shipping globally,” says Leonard Rodrigues, Director Revenue Management & Network Planning, Etihad Cargo.
