The Freight Air Transport industry has suffered in recent years in the face of economic and trade disruption. The region's beneficial geographical location and well-established infrastructure support strong demand. Despite increased demand for rapid and reliable cross-border logistics, driven by rising global trade and e-commerce, many countries have opted for ship cargo or road freight transport over air freight. During COVID-19, revenue tanked, with companies battling with sub-par freight volumes. Despite higher freight rates, Russia and Germany have driven the drop in industry revenue since the pandemic, with air freight succumbing to intense competition from other modes of transport.
