According to Absolute Markets Insights report, air freight mode is estimated to grow at the fastest rate during 2021-2030 period in the global freight forwarding market. The global volume of air freight has increased rapidly over the recent years with freight volumes reaching 61.3 million metric tons in 2019, the reason being the rising volumes of air freight due to free trade agreements worldwide.
