Disruption to supply chain processes and the subsequent delivery delays have meant a significant increase in delivery times, and according to IATA some of the longest delays in the history of manufacturing. This of course leads manufacturers to search for the fastest option to move their goods quickly and recover lost time – air transport is favoured for being the fastest freight service available and so has managed to stay strong despite the outside threat of an ongoing global pandemic.
According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA) released data for global demand in May 2021, stating that it had increased by 9.4% compared to May 2019. This is largely down to the global support of supply chains in favour of Air Freight due to the rise of 0.5% in global trade. Cost competitiveness of Air Freight compared to that of container shipping has improved, having previously sat at 12 times more expensive than sea freight, air freight is now only 6 times more expensive and offers a faster delivery time positioning it as a much more competitive option than it was 2 years ago.
