SMARTcargo Daily Air Cargo Brief — April 27, 2026

Industry Pulse: Global spot rates rose just 1% WoW to $3.73/kg for week ending April 19 — the smallest rise since the Iran conflict began in late February (WorldACD). Tonnages remain soft, -8% YoY.

Route Trends: Asia Pacific leads, with transpacific demand lifting rates and MESA capacity rebuilding (+7% WoW). Europe posted the steepest tonnage drop on Easter closures.

Charter Spot Rates (per kg):
• Transpacific (Asia–US): ~$5.91 (+9% WoW)
• Asia–Europe: ~$5.30 (+28% YoY)
• Transatlantic: ~$2.73 ex-North America (+52% YoY)
Global avg: $3.73/kg (+37% YoY)

Jet A Watch: US avg $8.63/gal in April (+$1.77 MoM, IATA/AvWeek). Jet fuel nearly doubled since February's Iran strikes. Fuel surcharges 35–45% of AWB.

Top Story: Rate hikes are cooling — week 16's 1% rise is the slowest pace since the Mideast conflict erupted, hinting at equilibrium even as fuel stays high.

SMARTcargo Daily Air Cargo Brief — April 26, 2026

Industry Pulse: Global rates rose just 1% WoW in wk 16 to $3.73/kg — the smallest weekly rise since the Iran war began, signaling the surge may be cooling (WorldACD). Tonnages stay ~8% below last year; supply still drives prices.

Route Trends: MESA capacity is still ~30% below pre-war despite the April 8 ceasefire, keeping Asia–Europe rerouted onto freighters. US tariff front-loading sustains transpacific volumes.

Charter Spot Rates (per kg):
• Transpacific (Asia–US): ~$5.91 (+9% WoW)
• Asia–Europe: ~$5.15 (double pre-war; SEA-EU $5.30)
• Transatlantic: ~$2.73 (firming; NA outbound proxy)
Global avg: $3.73/kg (+37% YoY)

Jet A Watch: US avg $8.63/gal Apr (+$1.77 MoM, ARG). Global jet fuel ~$198/bbl (IATA). Fuel surcharges 30–60% of AWB.

Top Story: IATA warns European flights could start cancelling by end of May from Iran-war jet fuel shortages — fuel risk is now the dominant near-term cargo threat.
