Ø Demand for air freight continues to be high, mainly as a result of sea to air conversion.
Ø Air freight rates are very volatile. With majority of the airlines accepting bookings online, rates can only be confirmed after the booking confirmation. For spot enquiries there are chances of variation in tariff from the time of quoting to the time of booking. Ø The surge in demand for air freight is resulting in rates consistently moving upwards. Ø For any urgent shipment it is recommended to book on premium service/ carriers. Ø Our team will do the best to explore/ offer the best solution to meet your needs. Ø The Indian festival of Diwali is on 4th – 5th November, leading to a long weekend in India. Kindly factor this is in your planning for shipments in week #44. |
