the last five years have seen a meaningful rise in capacity constraints. The boom in online shopping combined with maintenance delays has meant that cargo space isn’t growing as fast as needed. Airlines are now grappling with older freighters and a limited supply of cargo options while demand keeps climbing.

“Last year was particularly challenging for air freight due to the resurgence of passenger travel,” shares Michael Teoh, Head of Strategy at CargoTech. “While bellyhold capacity returned with passenger flights, much of it was consumed by luggage rather than freight. Additionally, routes serving holiday spots or smaller cities frequently enough lack significant cargo needs but still impact overall load factors.” he adds that delays in freighter conversions only exacerbate the situation as e-commerce continues its upward trajectory.

The Power of collaboration

A grate way for airlines facing similar challenges yet catering to different markets is through strategic partnerships. This could be as straightforward as establishing Block Space Agreements (BSA) on underutilized routes with partner carriers or forming larger alliances like those seen between Delta and Air France or Singapore Airlines and Lufthansa—though these tend to focus more on passenger services. Joint ventures can offer even deeper collaboration but frequently enough come with regulatory hurdles. Another option is leasing additional freighters from existing operators.
