How disruption in the Red Sea is affecting air cargo
Security concerns in the Red Sea region, particularly around the Suez Canal, have made it more difficult for companies to rely on sea freight. Shipping lines have been forced to divert vessels, change schedules, or even plan entirely new routings to avoid the region, with rerouting around the Cape of Good Hope pushing transit times up by 10-15 days.
These disruptions have led to multi-modal, or hybrid sea-air transport, becoming more popular again, particularly on routes from Asia to Europe where shipping delays have been most acute, and for the highest value, time-sensitive goods.
