In part one, Mike King and his guests from around the world of freight, shipping and logistics explore if the US peak season is already over, why forwarder profits peaked in the second quarter and how port congestion is set to continue and could act as a break on freight rate declines.
In part two, Mike speaks in depth to Paul Stoddart, the former Formula 1 team owner and chairman of fast-growing freighter operator European Cargo. They cover the global economy, why the cost-of-living crisis will curtail bellyhold capacity, the challenges of air cargo for a newcomer, and why regulators and politics are threatening to sink UK aviation.
