The ease in airfreight rates reflect the seasonal summer lull before the expected peak season towards the end of the year. On a global level the airfreight rates continue to soften while the overall capacity remains stable. After tense weeks in late June and early July around US Independence Day, capacities from USA to Asia and to Europe could recover again with slightly decreasing rates on an ongoing high level. The outbound capacity from Asia to Europe and USA remains at a constant level. Due to China´s adherence to its zero COVID policy and the accompanying measures, the available air freight capacities declined to 10% below their level this time last year. The capacity from Europe to USA and Asia stays constant with a moderate rate decrease.
