The recent tariff hikes by the United States have introduced new challenges for global trade, particularly along the China–US air cargo corridor, one of the busiest freight routes in the world. E-commerce airfreight volumes from Asia to the US have fallen by an estimated 20–30% since the changes were announced. In response, Mumbai-based Jet Freight Logistics has outlined measures to mitigate the impact. According to the company, it is exploring alternative trade corridors, including routes from Southeast Asia to the Middle East and Africa. Jet Freight is also deploying data analytics for agile routing, strengthening customs compliance procedures, and optimising cargo capacity to maintain cost efficiency despite shifting market conditions. The company said these measures aim to ensure continuity of service and minimise cost pass-through to customers.
