DHL Air Freight State of the Industry – December 2021

Find out the latest developments of the global air freight market in this monthly analysis by DHL Global Forwarding.
  • Ongoing conversion from air to ocean freight with the former's situation facing tighter capacity amidst high demand.
  • There is an incremental improvement in overall capacity, but compared to November 2019, it is still down by 21 percent. As such, rates are still mostly at a premium.
  • China's strict zero Covid-19 policy has led to upgraded sanitizing process and strict operation restrictions, thus causing severely restricted capacity and increased rates.
