アジア向け航空運賃、半導体と春節で２倍に Airfares to Asia doubled due to semiconductors and Chinese New Year

中華圏の春節(旧正月)を控え、日本発アジア向けの航空貨物スポット運賃が高騰している。東アジア向けでは半導体関連など輸出需要が好調の中、春節前の駆け込み需要もあり、年明け以降、例年の2倍以上に急騰。春節以降も活況な荷動きが続き、スポット運賃は高止まりが続く見込み。

Air freight spot fares from Japan to Asia are skyrocketing ahead of the Chinese New Year. While export demand for semiconductors and other products to East Asia is strong, there is also last-minute demand before the Chinese New Year, and since the beginning of the year, it has more than doubled from the usual year. Lively cargo movements will continue after the Chinese New Year, and spot fares are expected to remain high.
