The air freight sector, in turn, has the same fate as maritime freight, as major global airports also suffer from the same congestion, who lengthen the processing times for shipments.

In Europe, airports in Frankfurt, London Heathrow, Amsterdam and Brussels are trapped and are unable to process cargo volumes within the time frame. In Paris CDG, the situation is similar. With the cessation of passenger flights during the crisis of the VOCID-19, many handlers were thanked and now companies are hesitant and struggling to recruit. To this labour shortage add a significant increase in small consignment volumes which thus require more personnel and processing time, and a lack of road drivers to retrieve and transport the goods to their final destination.

In the United States, the Los Angeles and New York hubs have treatment delays of up to two weeks! News safety rules The US demand that all air cargo be controlled increases delays.

Other airports such as Melbourne and Chennai also report congestion. In China, with containment in the Dalian area, the main logistics infrastructure is closed and cargo volumes are therefore diverted to other neighbouring airports that cannot absorb all traffic.
