THE latest statistics from Baltic Exchange Air
Freight Index (BAI) show that airfreight rates on key trade lanes
declined in January compared with a month earlier but remain far above last
year's levels.
The average rates on services from Hong Kong to North
America slipped to $6.43 per kg in January compared with US$7.50 per kg in
December. However, prices are around 104 per cent higher than a year ago as
result of the loss of belly capacity from the market.
There was a similar trend on services from Hong Kong to
Europe, where prices declined from $5.59per kg in December to $4.28 per kg in
January. But, when comparing with a year ago, rates on the trade were up 51 per
cent in January.
On services from Frankfurt to North America, there was a
month-on-month decline of $0.15 per kg in January to $4.45 per kg. Against a
year ago, prices are up by 133 per cent.
The decline in prices in January compared with December
shouldn't come as too much of a surprise as rates usually drop following the
pre-Christmas peak season and then start climbing again in the summer.
However, there are so many different market dynamics at
play this year it is hard to predict whether pricing will follow the usual
seasonal trends.
One thing that is for certain is that it is
likely that airfreight prices will remain at an elevated level in 2021 given
the loss of bellyhold capacity, reports London's Air
Cargo News.
