Ecommerce growth leaves Latin America air cargo imbalance unresolved
LATAM Cargo says rising online retail volumes are reshaping the region’s air cargo networks, but weaker industrial shipments are offsetting some gains, so the directional imbalance remains unresolved.
LATAM Cargo reports that growing ecommerce imports are changing Latin America’s air cargo networks without resolving the region’s directional imbalance. At TIACA’s Air Cargo Forum in Miami, LATAM Cargo group CEO Andrés Bianchi said stronger online retail volumes do not tell the whole story of southbound demand.
Bianchi noted that declining industrial shipments are offsetting some of the ecommerce-driven gains. As a result, growth in online retail has not translated into a full correction of the cargo flow imbalance.
