The capacity shortage caused by COVID-19 has pushed airfreight operators to pursue creative solutions like the implementation of passenger freighters. The demand imbalance has also seen new entrants dip their toes into the airfreight market, as with the decisions from major players in ocean shipping including CMA CGM and Maersk to pursue own-controlled air capacity.

In this On Logistics episode of “On Air with Air Cargo World,” Cathy Morrow Roberson speaks with Brandon Fried, executive director of the Airforwarders Association and a quarterly contributor to Air Cargo World, about how some of the changes could factor into future air cargo operations, and what airfreight logistics providers want ocean freight operators to understand about the historical airfreight market.

Listen as Air Cargo World contributors Cathy Morrow Roberson and Brandon Fried cover modal changes, the role of freight forwarders and how operational changes today stand to affect airfreight in the years ahead.
