So it is welcome to see a forecast for a return to growth for the air cargo sector after several years in the doldrums.”

Cargo carriers continue service in hot zones

While news about conflicts and crises in certain parts of the Middle East and Africa has reduced passenger travel to these locations, a number of airfreight carriers continue to see economic promise in some of the most unstable and hazardous areas. In most of these cases, the cargo routes that still operate are about more than mere global commerce; they are lifelines that provide vital supplies to help keep the local populations alive. Here is a roundup of a few carriers and freight handlers that manage to provide these services in the hope that some of these dangerous hot spots will cool down in the near future.
