The demand for air freight declined since PPE is no longer acutely needed. Moreover, the retail cargo is not yet back in the air as shippers prefer sea freight or rails over air transportation. However, air freight would benefit when the favorable situation occurs or when a suitable vaccine is approved against Covid-19. Apart from this, July is a slow month for air transportation as it is a favorable time for sea freight and this year has shown a similar pattern.
Despite the pandemic, Turkish Cargo maintained its foothold
The Covid-19 and rising death tolls have brought the air freight and travel industry to a sudden halt as airlines have to ground plans to comply with lockdown measures. During this ongoing pandemic, the global air freight market suffered severe shrinkage. However, Turkish Cargo did not witness any loss of tonnage and performed the role of a global bridge and prevented the interruption of the international supply chain.
During these trying times, the division of Turkish Airlines (THY) managed to strengthen its foothold in the global air freight industry and gain market share to 5% during the pandemic. Turkish Cargo declared that it transported one out of 20 air shipments, even though there is more than 28% of shrinkage in the global market due to the Covid-19 outbreak.

Increased use of air freight booking platforms
Initially, air freight booking platforms were reluctant to allow shippers to book online owing to the fear of the backlash from carriers. However, a handful of forwarders now see no objection to shippers accessing prices.
Online booking platforms, including cargo.one were not in favor of the opportunity to advertise rates directly to shippers and wanted to keep the platform accessible only for International Air Transport Association- (IATA-) regulated freight forwarders. Once shippers know the dynamic pricing of the freight, then can get a reduction of agree a commission with the carrier, leveraging other freight. On the other hand, airlines could look at individual consignments and sell on volume or weight, whichever is highest.
Future of air freight and new opportunities
From a vantage point, the future of air freight seems bright. According to the IATA, the global air freight industry is all set for growth. However, there will be a slide of 3% in 2020, and the industry would settle at around $101.2 billion.

The last year, the industry suffered the implications of the trade war between China and the U.S. and declined global trade. However, this year and onward the world tread would regain its position and the reelection in the U.S. would somewhat reduce the trade tension. In the future, there are number of opportunities stored for the industry. For instance, there will be market for specialized services such as cold-chain, perishables, and pharmaceuticals, which must be carried through air as it takes lesser time than any other transportation alternative.
On the other hand, the e-commerce industry, and its market players such as UPS, Amazon, FedEx would demand aircraft. In fact, in June 2019, Amazon Air initiated daily flights with Amazon-logoed aircraft. Rickenbacker International Airport has become one of the major air cargo hubs. The airport offers several scheduled services for U.S. importers and exporters. This shows that the post-pandemic world is expected to be favorable for the air freight industry. Currently, the market is witnessing a setback however, the market would gain its previous position in a short time.
The post-pandemic world would bring new realities, new regulations and forwarders would have to comply with them. However, as the demand for e-commerce increases, and the global trade gains the foothold, the revenue of air freight market is bound to fly high in the future.
