Busy peak season restricts aircraft availability

It’s been one of the most challenging peak seasons ever for air cargo industry. The e-commerce shipments are drying out the remaining aircraft available and industrial projects customers are facing a hard time arranging last minute space on commercial flights.

Along with the difficulty to have their shipments booked within 2020 many shippers and consignors are taking desperate measures such as bypassing their usual suppliers in order to try and get some better availabilities. Usually these actions don’t really help the customers to get the best solutions. Kenny Schulz, Fly Easy Commercial Director comments: “when a shipper floods the market by sending out requests everywhere it normally backfires because a carrier sees it as speculation. The air cargo carriers are too busy now so if the customer is not straight, the airliner won’t bother offering a solution. Also there are many scammers around promising crazy prices and availabilities and if you don’t have the proper due diligence you may get in trouble. Our advice is to turn to your long term partners and let the specialists do the work”.
