News In Brief

Air freight operators in scramble to increase flights out of China

In order to cash in on elevated freight rates out of the country ahead of Black Friday and the Christmas shopping season, air freight groups are rushing to reroute planes after only recently cutting flights to China due to dwindling tourist demand.

But strong growth in demand for fast fashion and cheap online goods from Chinese ecommerce groups and the rising use of air freight amid disruption in the Red Sea are threatening to overwhelm the already strained rapid delivery market before Christmas, causing air freight rates to jump.

The freight rate for flying goods from Asia to the US has surged, with the average spot price in October up 49 per cent from a year ago to $5.46 a kilogram, according to market analytics firm Xeneta.
