Latin America’s Air Cargo Market Emerges as a Haven Amid Global Disruption Flowers, fresh produce and seafood account for a substantial share of LATAM’s airfreight exports, creating structurally air-dependent demand with fewer viable alternatives when air capacity tightens.
LATAM’s main North American and European corridors remain relatively insulated from the airspace and hub closures affecting Eurasian routes.
Growing Chinese logistics activity, nearshoring and potential air-services liberalization could strengthen LATAM’s connectivity and create new direct flows, while also increasing competitive pressure on established carriers and gateways.
Airspace restrictions and maritime bottlenecks across Europe and the Middle East have forced airlines to reroute aircraft, consume more fuel and manage increasingly constrained capacity. https://aircargoweek.com/latin-americas-air-cargo-market-emerges-as-a-relative-haven-amid-global-disruption/
