Air cargo wasn’t supposed to look this strong. Tariffs, the end of de minimis, political whiplash, war, and supply chain reshuffles all pointed to a difficult year. But the opposite happened.

In this Freight Buyers Club air cargo special — produced with the support of Dimerco Express Group — Mike King breaks down why the market held up, how shippers and carriers adapted, and what the data really says about the year ahead.

We hear from industry leaders on:
• Why air cargo defied expectations
• The impact of US tariffs and the end of de minimis
• China vs Southeast Asia sourcing shifts
• E-commerce, AI hardware demand and capacity rerouting
• Anchorage and Miami’s record volumes
• The 2026 market outlook: risks, growth drivers and unknowns

Sean Dolan, CEO, Northlink Aviation

Dimitrios “Jimmy” Nares, Section Chief, Cargo Development, Miami International Airport
