Air freight supply is up, but only by 3% year-on-year, which Xeneta says is already leading to higher costs for shippers due to limited capacity. \u201cShippers already had concerns about air freight capacity due to the huge increase in demand in 2024, driven mainly by the extraordinary growth of e-commerce goods exported from China to Europe and the US,\u201d said van de Wouw. \u201cThe available capacity in the market is already limited, so airlines will struggle to carry cargo tomorrow that should have been carried today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"922\" height=\"513\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bosslogistics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/crowstrike.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3537\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bosslogistics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/crowstrike.png 922w, https:\/\/www.bosslogistics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/crowstrike-300x167.png 300w, https:\/\/www.bosslogistics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/crowstrike-768x427.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 922px) 100vw, 922px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>FedEx said in a statement that it had activated contingency plans, but added that \u201cpotential delays in package deliveries\u201d expected on Friday were possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UPS said in a statement that its computer systems in the U.S. and Europe were affected, but the carrier continues to operate effectively and drivers are on the road making deliveries to customers. \u201cWe continue to work to resolve all issues as quickly as possible; there may be some service delays,\u201d UPS said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thousands of flights were stopped or delayed at the world\u2019s largest air freight hubs in Europe, Asia and North America as a result of an system update by the IT security company CrowdStrike. \u201cAircraft and cargo are not where they should be, and it will take days or even weeks to fully resolve the issues,\u201d [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3534,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"elementor_theme","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[104,57,51],"tags":[105,61],"class_list":["post-3532","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-air-cargo","category-supply-chain-en","category-transportation-en","tag-outage","tag-supply-chain"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bosslogistics.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3532","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bosslogistics.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bosslogistics.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bosslogistics.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bosslogistics.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3532"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.bosslogistics.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3532\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3542,"href":"https:\/\/www.bosslogistics.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3532\/revisions\/3542"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bosslogistics.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3534"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bosslogistics.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3532"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bosslogistics.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3532"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bosslogistics.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3532"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
