Retail shippers are moving more goods by airfreight as the global supply chain disruptions show no sign of abating.

According to a report from Xeneta freight platform, air cargo volumes from Vietnam to Europe jumped 62%  from a week earlier as exporters seek to get goods to customers.

The increase in demand has surged the air freight rates in Vientnam.

It is, however, too early to decide if this is a real shift from ocean to air.

“In the next two weeks, we should know for sure if this represents a genuine and significant shift from ocean to air freight due to the Red Sea crisis,” said Xeneta chief airfreight officer said.
