EU levy on ecommerce imports reduces demand and freighter flights

According to Aevean, APAC/MESA freighter capacity into Europe fell 14% in June, equivalent to around 18 fewer widebody freighter flights a day.
Several major European cargo gateways recorded steep declines, with Liège down 16%, Milan Malpensa 24%, Schiphol 12% and Budapest 46%.
The figures appear to support reports from airports that the EU charges have dampened demand for cross-border ecommerce shipments.
Had this measure been implemented as originally planned, it would have had a further negative impact on Italy’s ecommerce traffic.”
Despite the immediate shock, Mr Nanna said he expected the market to adjust at some point.
