</script>https://ufreight.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/airplane-1.jpg900600With our strong presence in the expedited international airfreight sector, the U-Freight Group notes that whilst the recent ceasefire between the USA and Iran could lead to a short-term relief in the air freight sector, analysts from Xeneta estimate that a complete return to pre-conflict capacities and prices will take another one to two months. Following the start of the conflict, there were significant restrictions in the airspace over the Middle East Gulf, which forced many airlines to ground their aircraft and reduced capacities on key freight corridors. This resulted in a drastic increase in freight rates, particularly on routes from Southeast Asia to Europe and from South Asia to Europe. The return of air freight capacities on these corridors could benefit shippers who continue to face significant disruptions in maritime supply chains, whose recovery could take considerably longer.
