Air cargo is still declining in Europe. But not everywhere, as H7 e-commerce surges so does BUD Cargo

HGL at BUD Cargo provides an excellent central Europe alternative for importers who are frustrated by capacity issues, limited working hours, workforce shortages and other problems affecting the EU’s traditional E-Commerce strategic injection points such as Liege, Amsterdam, Frankfurt etc.

The numbers clearly show this; overall Airfreight volumes for Europe are down by more than 7% compared with 2022 ytd, and nearly 12% lower than for pre-pandemic 2019. (Click to view)

However, volumes for BUD Cargo have gone in the opposite direction, most recently increasing by 7% above the same period last year, and by an amazing 45%+ over 2019 (Click to view)

HGL’s location at BUD Cargo City, the premier cargo handling facility in Central Europe has been key to the success of our Air Freight, E-Commerce, Project Cargo and Entertainment Logistics business divisions. From its airport location, HGL provides partners with individual sortation and barcoded inventory management for handling and E-customs clearance of bulk B2C shipments under the EU’s H7 import regime.
