Air freight rates rise in 2024

In October, spot rates reached their highest point this year, with rates from Vietnam to the US increasing by 65% and to Europe by nearly 60%. Vietnam has emerged as a hotspot for eCommerce exports, with capacity out of Ho Chi Minh to North America increasing by 360% year-on-year.

Asia-Pacific has been hit hardest by the capacity constraints, with rates rising over 60% year-on-year due to increased demand for holiday shipments and high-tech goods. Despite the added capacity, rates continue to climb, further exacerbated by geopolitical tensions and disruptions in sea freight. The overall airfreight market grew by 10% year-on-year in September, as supply chain challenges forced more businesses to turn to airfreight.

Meanwhile, new security protocols introduced by the US and Canada are increasing the complexity of logistics for air cargo. These regulations, aimed at mitigating risks, require more detailed information from carriers, particularly on routes from Europe to North America. As a result, additional delays and operational hurdles are possible as peak season nears.

In Europe, demand for imports from Asia is forecast to remain strong through the rest of 2024, adding further pressure on already tight capacity. Surcharges have already been announced for Q4, with rates from Asia-Pacific to the US rising sharply. Transatlantic routes have seen a mix of rate movements, with rates increasing on westbound routes.

In response to the capacity crunch, shippers are exploring sea-air options through the Middle East, which has seen strong demand throughout 2024. However, these alternative routes are still subject to rising rates as supply struggles to keep pace with demand.

As the peak season approaches, air cargo rates are expected to continue climbing, and shippers are advised to plan for increased costs and potential delays. With demand surging and capacity remaining constrained, the air cargo market remains volatile, especially on key trade lanes from Asia to North America and Europe.
