The U-Freight Group continues to position its global airfreight and logistics capabilities to capitalise on continued growth in international air cargo demand, following the release of the latest figures from the International Air Transport Association (IATA).

According to IATA, global air cargo demand, measured in cargo tonne-kilometres, increased by 7.7% year-on-year in September 2026, while available capacity grew by just 2.7%. The figures underline the strength of the market, supported by expanding global trade, improving manufacturing activity and continued demand for technology-related shipments.

Asia-Pacific recorded an 8.6% increase in demand, while the Asia\u2013North America trade lane saw particularly strong growth of 17%.

Against this backdrop, U-Freight is continuing to develop our integrated international airfreight and cross-border e-commerce capabilities to help customers take advantage of emerging trade opportunities.

The Group is leveraging our extensive international network, alongside investments in technology, infrastructure and strategic partnerships, to provide flexible, reliable and scalable logistics solutions. Its services encompass international freight forwarding, customs brokerage, warehousing, fulfilment and last-mile delivery.

With e-commerce remaining an important driver of air cargo growth, U-Freight is also focusing on providing the capacity, digital capabilities and operational support needed to handle increasingly complex, time-sensitive international supply chains.

While rising fuel costs and the imbalance between demand and available capacity present challenges for the industry, U-Freight believes that an integrated, customer-focused approach will be increasingly important in helping businesses maintain efficient and resilient global supply chains.
