Transpacific airfreight rates strengthened in October as the peak season gained momentum, driven by rising demand, increased booking activity, and tighter capacity across major Asia–North America trade lanes. Month-on-month spot rate improvements indicate a healthier and more stable market environment for carriers and freight forwarders, even though some lanes remain slightly below 2023 levels. Seasonal shipping cycles, inventory restocking, and ongoing shifts in global trade dynamics — including tariff-related adjustments — are influencing the upward trend. While the recovery is not yet uniform across all regions, with Asia–Europe lanes improving at a slower pace, the overall market outlook is increasingly positive as year-end volumes build.

At Bringer Air Cargo , these market developments reinforce our commitment to supporting customers with reliable capacity solutions, competitive pricing strategies, and expert guidance throughout peak season. With our global air network and strong carrier partnerships, Bringer is well-positioned to help shippers navigate changing rate conditions and secure the space they need during this critical period for international logistics.

The recent imposition of new U.S. tariffs is creating significant challenges for the air cargo industry, especially for goods coming from countries such as China. These tariffs have raised shipping costs, particularly for items like electronics, machinery, and other goods that were often transported by air due to the speed and efficiency of air freight. As a result, businesses are facing increased transportation expenses, which is prompting some to delay shipments, reduce their reliance on air cargo, or shift to alternative methods like sea freight, which is slower but cheaper.

This shift in shipping preferences is likely to lead to a reduction in demand for air cargo services. Many companies are exploring more cost-effective shipping options to avoid the added costs of air freight, which could negatively impact the overall volume of goods moved by air. The air cargo market could see lower revenues as fewer shipments are being transported by air, and competition among carriers might intensify as they fight for a shrinking pool of customers. In addition, the increased shipping costs due to tariffs could make air cargo less attractive, especially for goods that are not time-sensitive, further contributing to the decline in demand.

Ultimately, the tariffs are putting pressure on the air cargo market by increasing operational costs and forcing companies to reassess their shipping strategies. With businesses considering other transport options, the industry may face a slowdown, making it harder for air cargo companies to maintain growth and profitability in the face of these external challenges.
While the new tariffs might lead to overall decreases in trade volume, Bringer Air Cargo can turn these challenges into opportunities by focusing on high-value, urgent shipments and expanding its reach in the global market. Our ability to provide customized and flexible solutions makes them well-suited to navigate the impact of the tariffs.

Freight traffic at European airports remained stable in the first half of 2025, with a slight increase of just +0.1% compared to the same period in 2024. Airports in the European Union saw a modest rise of +0.4%, while non-EU airports experienced a small decline of -2%. However, the overall air cargo industry has shown resilience, surpassing pre-pandemic levels by +8.7% when compared to the first half of 2019, signaling a steady recovery from the impacts of COVID-19.

Some major airports, such as Madrid-Barajas, Cologne-Bonn, and London Heathrow, performed better than the overall trend, posting increases of +8.9%, +3.5%, and +2.3% respectively. Flight operations also grew by +3.1% compared to 2024, though they still remain 2.2% lower than pre-pandemic levels in 2019. Overall, the air cargo industry is recovering slowly but steadily, with some airports and regions performing better than others.

Europe’s stable and improving cargo volumes in H1 2025 represent a significant growth opportunity for Bringer Air Cargo. With its global footprint, adaptable services, and strong GSA partnerships (particularly in Europe), BAC is positioned to scale up operations and capture increased freight demand.

Mexico’s recent tariff increases are expected to raise costs for companies importing goods into North America through the country. A presidential decree announced on December 19 introduces tariffs of 15% on imported textiles and up to 35% on finished apparel products, effective until April 2026.

New restrictions under the IMMEX program further tighten regulations. The program, which allows tax- and duty-free import of raw materials for export-only goods, now faces stricter oversight. Additionally, Mexico’s tax authority (SAT) imposed a 19% duty on courier-imported goods from countries without trade agreements with Mexico.

The measures aim to support Mexican manufacturers and curb “border-skipping,” where companies bypass tariffs on Chinese goods via nearshoring. However, these changes could force businesses to reconsider importing through Mexico, according to ITS Logistics.

“This creates immediate challenges for apparel brands, pushing them to explore alternative strategies, including reshoring operations in the US,” said Ryan Martin, ITS Logistics’ president of distribution and fulfillment. Martin noted a spike in inquiries from companies seeking customized distribution solutions and warehouse space in the US.

The tariff hikes coincide with US president-elect Donald Trump’s promise to impose steep tariffs—25% on imports from Mexico and Canada, and an additional 10% on Chinese goods. These measures, Trump claims, are intended to combat illegal immigration and drug trafficking.

For Bringer Air Cargo, these developments present both challenges and opportunities. As companies shift from nearshoring in Mexico to reshoring or exploring alternative logistics strategies, there is significant potential for Bringer to position itself as a key partner in navigating these disruptions. Effective communication is critical in educating clients about these changes, showcasing Bringer’s ability to provide tailored logistics solutions, and capturing new business from companies seeking efficient air cargo services to adapt to the evolving trade landscape. This moment underscores the importance of strategic agility and customer-focused service in securing Bringer’s role as a trusted logistics provider during this pivotal time.

Global air cargo volumes are expected to grow by 5.8% to 72.5 million tonnes in 2025, driven by e-commerce and Red Sea trade. Despite a slight 0.7% decline in yields, freight rates will remain above pre-pandemic levels, with revenues reaching $157 billion.

E-commerce growth and geopolitical issues affecting sea freight through the Suez Canal will drive demand, especially in Asia. However, risks like increased vessel capacity and safer sea routes could reduce air cargo’s competitiveness.

Challenges include rising staffing costs, supply chain disruptions, and potential tariff changes under the incoming Trump administration. Deregulation and business-friendly policies could offset some of these risks.

Middle East and Asia-Pacific carriers lead in volume growth, fueled by e-commerce demand and access to Russian airspace. Global cargo capacity is expanding but at a slower rate.

For Bringer Air Cargo, these trends highlight opportunities to tap into booming e-commerce markets and key trade routes. However, maintaining cost efficiency and adaptability will be essential to staying competitive. Strategic route planning and a focus on service differentiation can help Bringer capitalize on growth.
