With a strong presence in the airfreight market, the U-Freight Group notes that according to the latest weekly market analysis from CLIVE Data Services, part of Xeneta, global air cargo volumes fell -4% year-on-year in February as available cargo capacity rose above the pre-pandemic level for the first time in four years.
