Freight chartered air transport is a mode of transportation that uses aircraft, such as planes and helicopters, to provide chartered (non-scheduled) air transportation services for passengers and/or cargo for a fee per mile or hour for the charter of the aircraft, which includes renting an aircraft for a tour. The main cargo types in the freight chartered air transport services market are time-critical cargo, heavy and outside cargo, dangerous cargo, animal transportation, and others. Dangerous cargo involves the shipment of substances that are at a risk to health, property, safety, or the environment. The market is segmented by application into private use and commercial use and by end-use into wealthy individuals, sports teams, and large corporations. The freight chartered air transport services market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides freight chartered air transport services market statistics, including freight chartered air transport services industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a freight chartered air transport services market share, detailed freight chartered air transport services market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the freight chartered air transport services industry. This freight chartered air transport services market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry. The global freight chartered air transport market size will grow from $23.80 billion in 2022 to $26.58 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.7%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The global freight chartered air transport market size is expected to grow to $40.24 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 10.9%. The growing need for urgent shipment of dangerous goods and hazardous materials is expected to drive the freight chartered air transport market. Sensitive freight with dangerous goods includes explosives, highly flammable gases, radioactive materials, and military items. Toxic and infectious substances require a special skill set and expert knowledge for shipping the goods. These goods are transported through chartered cargo to avoid explosions and contamination. For instance, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) of the USA granted the authority for chartered cargo services along with training for all employees, in the form of a part-135 certificate, to operate on demand under an FAA-approved hazardous materials program. Urgent shipment of dangerous goods and hazardous materials is therefore expected to drive market growth. High prices associated with charter cargo flight services are expected to hamper the freight chartered air transport market. The cost of the cargo charter depends on many factors, such as origin and destination points, the type of commodity shipped, dimensions, and weights. For instance, the freight and logistics prices are above $500,000 for an Asia-Europe A330 charter and above $21 per kilogramme on transatlantic routes for some urgent shipments. Additionally, the cost of a B777 or B747 carrying 100 tonnes of cargo was $470,000 earlier, which is now costing between $850,000 and $1 million for a round trip with e-commerce goods and general cargo from Europe to China. Therefore, the skyrocketing cost of freight charter services is expected to hamper the market. The companies in the freight chartered air transport market are focusing on the use of blockchain technology to improve logistics in multiple sectors. Blockchain is a shared, immutable ledger that facilitates the process of recording transactions and tracking assets in a business network. For example, in September 2020, AirAsia, a Malaysia based multinational airline, launched its blockchain-based air cargo network, Freightchain, to help uncover all available cargo network connections operated by airlines and then facilitate bookings in real-time via bids that are verified instantly on the blockchain. Major players in the freight chartered air transport services market are Air Charter Service, Air Transport Services Group Inc., Stratos Jet Charters Inc., Cargo Air Chartering, Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd., Air Partner, and Fliteline. North America was the largest region in the freight chartered air transport services market in 2022.
