The broker Chapman Freeborn provides a mixed assessment of the all-cargo charter market in 2025. On one hand, the demand related to aeronautics remains strong: the transport of engines, critical parts, sensitive equipment, and “AOG” operations continue to fill dedicated flights, often on an urgent basis. On the other hand,...
The FAA has issued a fresh airworthiness directive targeting Boeing 757 aircraft, including the large number of freighter conversions still flying nightly across the United States. The trigger wasn’t dramatic — no major incident — but several maintenance reports pointed to unusual wear on elements connected to the precooler system...
According to the latest projections from IATA, global production of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is expected to reach approximately 1.9 million tons by 2025. A figure on the rise, but far from the trajectory needed to meet the aviation sector’s “net zero” goals. The association highlights a paradox: regulations are...
After several stop-and-go years, air cargo may have some breathing room ahead. The industry isn’t celebrating just yet, but the latest outlook points to a slow and steady rebound. IATA expects air-freight volumes to tick up by about 2.4% in 2026, which would put the total close to 71.6 million...

The carrier has announced a broader cooperation with long-haul specialist Kalitta Air, extending their code-share agreement across more trans-Pacific routes linking Japan and Asia to several key gateways in North America.
