</script>https://ufreight.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/air-cargo-2.jpg900600With the U-Freight Group's strong presence in the expedited international airfreight arena, we note that global air cargo demand grew by three percent year-on-year in September, according to Xeneta, signalling a slowdown from the stronger five percent gains seen in July and August. With capacity growth matching demand, yields continued to fall, marking the fifth consecutive month of spot rate declines. Tariff changes, shifting e-commerce flows, and seasonal disruptions weighed on volumes, leaving analysts cautious about the remainder of 2025 despite forecasts of overall growth of three to four percent. “Over the previous two months we’ve seen how air cargo has gained from ‘piggybacking’ on global uncertainty, whether that’s frontloading supply chains or modal shift from ocean to air to move goods more quickly before tariffs took hold,” said Xeneta’s Chief Airfreight Officer, Niall van de Wouw. “September’s data is an early indication that this is lessening as some stability starts to return on major corridors and everything is less hectic on a global level.”
