With the pandemic-induced turmoil currently experienced across the ocean freight sector, more and more customers, who would normally rely only on ocean freight as a mode of transport, are looking to air freight as a solution to keep production lines running, shelves stocked and ultimately keep customers happy.
Along with global port congestion, delays and capacity constraints, the ever-rising cost of containerised shipping has reduced the price gap between air and ocean freight. In recent years ocean freight increased tenfold on certain lanes, while air freight remained relatively consistent, following the initial shift when passenger flights were suspended.
