Air Freight

Air cargo is essential to many areas of modern life. E-commerce, high-value specialized cargo and a recent growth in export trade saw air freight grow by 3.8% in 2016 – almost double the industry’s growth rate of the previous five years.

However, the increase in oil and fuel prices, increased security measures plus  competition from other transport modes such as shipping, rail and increased belly cargo in passenger planes, all make it vital that air cargo is moved as efficiently and cost effectively as possible in order to continue the industry’s upward momentum.
