Why 货物租船 is the solution to the scheduled capacity problem
With continued disruption to scheduled services severely impacting the capacity for cargo, 货运包租可能是理想的解决方案.
Everyone knows that scheduled airlines have suffered hugely during the Covid-19 pandemic, with flights still down around 40% in the first week of January 2021 compared to January 2020. But what you might not realise is the knock-on effect this has had on cargo transportation.
Scheduled services typically have dedicated belly space for cargo, with sections of the hold that aren’t required for customer luggage filled with goods bound for the final destination.
But with many scheduled flights still grounded thanks to coronavirus-related travel restrictions and most of the limited remaining capacity earmarked for urgent medical supplies, standard cargo has been in danger of being left high and dry.
Dan Morgan-Evans, Global Cargo Director at ACS, warns that:
industries will likely have to contend with continuing very high general air 货物租船 rates due to Covid-related global demand, 一开始是让飞机使用个人防护装备, 然后是检测包，现在是疫苗. That is likely to be the case at least until more passenger aircraft bellyhold capacity becomes widely available.
And with passenger services not expected to return to pre-Covid levels for the foreseeable future, plus continued post-Brexit uncertainty and ocean freight supply chain issues making it difficult to ship cargo by road and sea, freight forwarders have had to think outside the box in order to keep shipments moving.
This has led to the emergence of private 货物租船 as a reliable and flexible alternative to belly freight, with the trend set to continue throughout 2021 and beyond as scheduled services recover.
When the sharp rise in demand for 货物租船s initially outstripped freighter availability, many carriers began transporting lightweight cargo in the empty cabins of passenger aircraft, removing seats and securing boxes to seat tracks on the floor with cargo nets.

For larger shipments such as automotive equipment and machinery, many grounded passenger aircraft have been converted into freighters (dubbed “preighters”) to meet skyrocketing demand. Aerospace data analyst Antoine Fafard expects this trend to continue with 1,000 freighters entering the market by 2030; most of them passenger conversions.
大流行开始一年之后, what began as a stopgap has now become the new normal for cargo transportation. At a time when industries have found themselves blindsided by belly freight suddenly grinding to a halt, the personalised service and trusted expertise that come with 货物租船ing make it a welcome solution.
“With so much uncertainty around when scheduled capacity will fully recover from the effects of the pandemic, our customers view 货物租船 as the most reliable, flexible and cost-effective solution for transporting vital cargo around the world,”Morgan-Evans说. “For now, it looks like 货物租船 is the best way to keep supply chains moving during this global crisis.”
