Why the cost of air freight from China to Ukraine increased sharply during quarantine

Due to changes in world aviation related to quarantine, the cost of transporting cargo by plane from China to Ukraine has increased 3-4 times.

The cost of air cargo transportation from China to Ukraine has increased several times recently. “If we compare the current tariffs with the period before the introduction of quarantine, the cost of transporting goods from Chinese airports to Borispol has increased 3-4 times. Earlier, for a consignment of 1 ton, delivery of 1 kilogram cost $ 4−4.5. Now it is from $ 12 to $ 18, ”said Andriy Kryvorotov, director of the air and sea transportation department of ZAMMLER GROUP.

According to him, previously 80% of the cargo was transported by passenger planes. But after severe restrictions on passenger air travel were introduced in almost every country in the world, the supply fell sharply. Cargo boards are not enough to meet all demand.

That is why some airlines have begun to use passenger planes to transport medical and humanitarian goods. Andriy Kryvorotov notes that the transportation of 1 ton of cargo from China to Ukraine by charter passenger plane will be about 30% cheaper than the transportation of the same consignment by parts on regular cargo airlines.
