Recent geopolitical tensions, including aggressive tariffs and trade retaliations, are significantly impacting global air cargo flows, prompting airlines to adjust strategies and invest in resilience. Disruptions such as airspace closures and military activities have forced air cargo operators to navigate a landscape intertwined with politics and trade.

Companies are innovating and adapting to these changes to maintain competitiveness.
