Airfreight Capacity Tightens Ahead of Peak Shipping Season

As the industry approaches the 2025 peak shipping season, global airfreight capacity is tightening due to a surge in demand and ongoing market volatility. The temporary tariff relief on select imports has accelerated shipment volumes, placing additional pressure on already limited space across major international lanes.

Key developments:

  • Reduced space availability, particularly on Transpacific, and Europe, U.S. routes
  • Increased demand for time-sensitive and express air shipments
  • Upward pressure on spot market rates

What this means for your business:
Importers and exporters should act now to secure space and stabilize costs. Delayed bookings may lead to higher freight rates, longer transit times, and missed delivery windows, especially for high-priority or seasonal cargo.

How Radius International can support you:

  • Priority space access through established airline partnerships
  • Strategic lane planning and early capacity reservation
  • Comprehensive door-to-door solutions, including customs clearance and real-time tracking
