Successive winter storms have severely disrupted cargo air transport in the northeastern United States, prompting United Cargo to extend an embargo on several flights departing from Newark. Several major airports had to reduce or suspend their operations, illustrating the vulnerability of hubs to extreme weather events.

Despite these disruptions, companies are implementing proactive strategies based on real-time data analysis to limit delays and protect sensitive cargo. Prioritization of critical shipments, enhanced communication with customers, and rapid capacity adjustments are becoming the norm.

This episode serves as a reminder that climate resilience is now a central issue for global logistics, particularly in corridors heavily reliant on air freight.
