In previous Flashback Friday articles, various aspects of the history of trucking, railroads and shipping have been covered. Today’s article is an overview of the history of air cargo. FreightWaves has three experts covering air cargo/air freight on an ongoing basis – Jesse Cohen, Cathy Roberson and Scott Case. Look for their articles on FreightWaves.com. Aviation begins, and air cargo follows soon thereafter Orville and Wilbur Wright flew their airplane for the first time on December 17, 1903. Since then air travel has revolutionized the world in countless ways. When airplanes first took to the skies, the mere idea of an airplane (or aeroplanes as they were known then) was astounding. Man had wanted to fly for thousands of years, but now it was a reality. But only 115 years ago, the concept seemed unbelievable. Now, airplanes enable quick travel for millions daily around the globe; and millions of packages are shipped by air freight every day. In addition, advancements in aircraf...

T he Montreal Convention is an international air carriage convention introduced by the International Civil Aviation Organization in 1999, which took effect in China (and Macau) on 31 July 2005, automatically superceding its predecessor the Warsaw Convention. The Hong Kong SAR government also became a signatory on 15 December 2006. The convention governs only international carriage in which of the points of both departure and destination, with or without a break in carriage or a trans-shipment, are situated either within the territories of two party states, or within the territory of a single party state if there is an agreed stopping place within the territory of another state, even if that state is not a party state. Under Article 142(2) of the PRC General Principles of Civil Law, any inconsistencies between international treaties to which China is a party and the Chinese civil law should be resolved in favour of the international treaties. The Montreal Conventio...

The government must prioritise air freight to achieve Britain’s future trading ambitions in post-Brexit Britain, the Freight Transport Association has said in response to a consultation, Aviation 2050 — the future of UK aviation. Head of multimodal policy Alex Veitch said the association wanted the government to dedicate a chapter of its White Paper to air freight. “We need to see its ambition for the sector clearly, and understand how the various elements in the strategy will support the delivery of this vision. After all, air freight represents around 40 per cent by value of the UK’s imports and exports and its importance will only increase as the UK looks to supplement European trading opportunities with economies further afield after Brexit.” It is also calling for the government to commission a new Airport Connectivity Study to highlight where transport links and freight parking facilities need to be improved and set a programme for action.

Amazon says its adding 15 Boeing 737 freighters to its growing air fleet. The e-commerce giant outsources the operation of its air network to two cargo airlines. The announcement comes less than two weeks after FedEx said it would end its express air service for Amazon. Amazon on Tuesday said it will add more than a dozen air freighters to its fast-growing air cargo arm, the e-commerce giant’s latest push to tighten control over its own logistics network. General Electric’s aircraft leasing unit will rent 15 converted Boeing 737-800 freighters to Amazon Air, the retailer said. That’s in addition to five other of the narrowbody cargo planes Amazon announced it would add earlier this year. The Seattle-based company said it expects to have 70 planes in its fleet by 2021. The announcement for the additional planes came less than two weeks after  FedEx  said it wouldn’t renew its express air shipping agreement with Amazon. FedEx said it would still provide...

FRANKFURT/LONDON/SINGAPORE – U.S. President Donald Trump’s intensifying trade war with China dented air cargo traffic even before FedEx Corp. got dragged into the brawl, as companies worldwide reconfigure their supply chains in the face of increasing tariffs. Global cargo demand fell 4.7 percent in April from a year earlier, according to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), equaling a February drop that was the worst in three years, with the biggest declines coming from manufacturing hubs in Asia and Europe. Freight operators are bracing for more disruption as tensions between Washington and Beijing ratchet up, and trade experts warn that declining shipments — worsened by Brexit jitters and simmering tensions in the Middle East — indicate a slowdown in global growth. “If we see a further deterioration and tariff increases, there will be further damage to world trade,” IATA Director-General Alexandre de Juniac said. “It will clearly be a difficult year for worl...
