Behind the curtain of holiday shipping: Air transport, perishable goods, and logistics planning.

Christmas is not a chaotic time for global logistics; rather, it involves meticulous planning and timely shipments. Most Christmas-related cargo is transported well before December, with goods arriving in stores by November. Air freight plays a selective role, focusing on perishables, e-commerce parcels, and urgent shipments. While sea freight dominates festive cargo, operational challenges such as reduced cargo space due to passenger travel and potential congestion persist. Ultimately, the logistics industry emphasizes careful coordination to ensure smooth operations during the holiday season, highlighting the importance of advance planning over last-minute rushes.
