The Rise of E-Commerce and the Demand for Speed

E-commerce is one of the driving forces behind the growing demand for air product transportation. Consumers expect faster delivery times, sometimes within 24 hours or less, making air freight a crucial part of the supply chain for many businesses.

• Same-Day and Next-Day Delivery: Retail giants like Amazon, Alibaba, and Walmart are pushing the boundaries of whats possible in terms of delivery speed. Air freight is essential for meeting the high expectations of customers who demand rapid delivery, especially for high-demand items or urgent deliveries. Dedicated air cargo flights and partnerships between logistics companies and airlines are becoming more common to support this fast-paced delivery model.
  
• Increased Volume of Small Parcels: The surge in online shopping has led to a rise in the volume of small parcels that need to be shipped across borders and domestically. This is creating pressure on air cargo providers to accommodate higher volumes while ensuring that delivery times remain fast and reliable. E-commerce companies are investing in dedicated air freighters and expanding their air fleets to keep up with demand.
