For warehouses and forwarders, the structural decline calls for a reassessment of charter and capacity strategies on the China-Europe lane.

Cirium predicts nearly 750 new freighters in next 20 years

Cirium's latest Fleet Forecast projects around 747 new freighter deliveries between 2026 and 2045, implying 2% annual growth for the global freighter fleet. E-commerce, high-value goods, time-sensitive logistics and special cargo continue to support dedicated freighter demand. But supply chain bottlenecks, engine availability, extended certification timelines, cost pressures and geopolitical uncertainty are collectively limiting the pace at which new capacity can be added.

Amazon adds two new China airfreight service offerings

Amazon Global Logistics added two airfreight options between China and the US: Air SMP and Economy Air.

Airfreight rates edge up in September

TAC Index data shows airfreight rates edged higher in September as the Q4 peak season approached: average Hong Kong–North America rates rose to $7.02/kg from $6.98 in August, while Hong Kong–Europe climbed from $4.58 to $4.80, up 31% and 8.8% year on year. The gains reflect early peak-season inventory builds, jet fuel prices up over 100% year on year amid the US–Iran conflict, and buoyant AI-infrastructure cargo to the US. Early-October data shows the rally accelerating, with the Baltic Air Freight Index up 5% in a week and 25.5% year on year.
