A week in Air Cargo is like a year in many other industries. From the subsequent growth in 2022 to the depths of shrinkage during the year 2023 caused by a global rise in inflation costs and energy costs to 2024, which has now benefited from eight consecutive months of double growth of the number, mostly driven by continuous e -commerce expanding. But what is it brought tomorrow?
The Red Sea crisis and the broader conflict in the Middle East unfortunately do not show any signs of a reduction. The influence on air cargo, while the positivity from the perspective of demand creates additional challenges because the capacity has become very difficult to buy customers for a long time in addition to the upcoming new requests. We are also ready to see the US Eastern Coast and Gulf ports closed with the expiration of work agreements at the end of September, and discussions are closed on new stalemate agreements.
This is all vehicles to predict that 2025 can witness more demand for the growth of the demand for air cargo, but also more challenges from the narrow capacity and the most complicated compliance requirements as countries aspire to enhance security and border regulations.
On this background, the Tiaaca Air Cargo (ACF) forum, which will be held at the Miami Beach Convention Center from November 11 to 14, will provide the perfect place to discuss what the future hides. To hear the ideas of industry leaders and interact with exhibitors who will show a wonderful collection of services and solutions.
