A recent cyberattack targeting a major international airline, combined with a surge in air cargo backlogs, has significantly reduced available capacity and increased transit times for shipments into Australia.

Additionally, extreme heat conditions across the Middle East have created further operational challenges for several carriers. These conditions have led to increased cargo backlogs and forced payload restrictions due to fuel expansion in aircraft tanks. As a result, uplift capacity through affected hubs has been further constrained, contributing to extended delivery timeframes.
