aircargo rates

Airfreight looks like a haven for some ocean shippers that can’t find reliable, affordable transportation, but it probably won’t be that way for long because more businesses will need to move goods by air in the coming months and there aren’t enough planes.

Air cargo rates spike in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak. Medical supplies are in high demand while much of the air capacity is grounded.

To a lay person, air freight is a term that is interchangeable with parcel. For a freight forwarder or shipper, air freight means something different.
