Losses ranged from $50,000 to amounts exceeding $500,000 for some. 🔍 What's Happening? Brokers re-assign loads without informing all parties. This often leaves carriers unpaid and disrupts trust. 🚩 Red Flags to Watch: Unable to contact the broker. Brokers are hiding their motor carrier numbers. Unusual payment requests.

The air freight industry, finds itself in a perpetual loop of cyclical losses and sporadic profitability. This cycle is driven primarily by an inconsistent and often irrational deployment of capacity. But, there's more to the story than just overcapacity. The industry's challenges arise from an inability to comprehend the intrinsic links between passenger demand, combination carriage capacity, and the deployment of passenger aircraft capacity. Relying on the hope that prices will go up without adding actual new value is a shortsighted approach. This strategy might offer occasional windfalls but also brings prolonged periods of losses. Profitability should ideally be based on the value provided to customers, rather than the chance that external market conditions drive up price. Irrational capacity deployment is a persistent, historical Problem. The air freight industry has long seen the cycle where capacity is pumped into the market without comprehensive strategic planning. In the The Loadstar article, Van der Stichele's observation about the influx of new capacity not being well thought out is a testament to this issue. Such an approach results in a scenario where there are a few hugely profitable winners, more often than not, a lot of victims, and even players who don't know they are victims. All cargo operators often overlook a crucial factor: the base effects of combination carriage capacity being intrinsically linked to passenger demand. When passenger demand fluctuates, it impacts cargo capacity in sometimes unpredictable ways. This interdependence means that any significant change in passenger trends will invariably affect cargo markets. On the same side, combination carriers often underestimate the base effects of the deployment of passenger aircraft capacity. The parent carrier may even fail to recognize that deploying larger aircraft for passengers inadvertently increases the available cargo space, potentially leading to oversupply in the cargo market. One potential way to break this cyclical trap might be the reduction of the average size of passenger aircraft over time. We have actually been in a long term aircraft downsizing trend for about two decades. I remember when every jet at NRT airport was a 747, years later, it was all 777's and A330's. Now more 787's and A350's than any other type. As passenger aircraft size decreases, perhaps the cargo market will be less sensitive to what's going on in the passenger side of the operation. If the trend continues towards smaller aircraft with less excess capacity in the holds, it might very well reduce the business cycles in the air freight industry and stabilize the carriage of air freight around, well, freighters. https://lnkd.in/gZuJbiEZ

Transportation Deregulation and Its Impact Before 1980, the trucking industry was highly regulated, with the government setting shipping rates through the Motor Carrier Act. These rates ensured that carriers could often deadhead back to their starting point. In 1978, the Airline Deregulation Act, signed by President Jimmy Carter, removed government oversight of airline fares and routes, which were previously regulated by the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB). This led to more competitive pricing and market-driven fare structures in the airline industry. was this taking advantage or helping carriers ?

Expedited shipping can save the aerospace industry billions of dollars by avoiding delays caused by mechanical problems and ensuring efficient solutions. With around 20% of domestic flights experiencing some form of delay, it's time for airlines to focus on the back end of their operations and consider implementing an alternative expedited shipping strategy in their standard operating procedures.

FedEx Corp on Wednesday said its U.S. Express deliveries could be delayed due to an overnight Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) information technology system outage. The FAA said that departures were stopped briefly on Tuesday night due to an equipment issue that occurred during a scheduled software update. Shipments delayed due to the outage are not eligible for a refund or credit. FedEx competitor United Parcel Service (UPS) said that its flights have been operating as expected with nothing to report regarding delays. #FedEx #UPS #FAA #UnitedExpress #SoftwareUpdate #Refunds #Flights #networksecurity #networkforensics #threatintelligence #threatintel #darkweb #securityoperations #informationtechnology Read more here: https://lnkd.in/e_HuWB2i
