SAL Logistics Services, the national leader in cargo handling, logistics solutions, and supply chain management in Saudi Arabia, has signed a strategic partnership agreement with TAM Group to strengthen air cargo operations between China and the Kingdom.
Worldwide air cargo tonnages dropped 3% during the October 6 to 12 period over the previous week, mainly due to holidays in China, Taiwan and S. Korea. On the pricing side, a noticeable change was that China air cargo spot rates to the US fell for a second week by 7%.
Global air cargo demand for 2025, measured in cargo tonne-kilometers (CTK), increased 3.4% compared to 2024, an IATA report said.
Worldwide total air cargo revenues surged by 3% in 2025 to their highest level since the exceptional Covid pandemic years of 2021 and 2022, thanks largely to a further significant year-on-year rise in chargeable weight to a new record full-year level, according to the latest figures from WorldACD Market Data.
