Emirates cargo boss says supply chain constraints could stretch beyond 2022 | Reuters
Global supply chain constraints will continue to hit freight movers until at least the end of next year and could stretch beyond 2022 as logistics companies struggle with labour shortages amid booming demand, Emirates' cargo boss said.
A shortage of freight space and manpower as a result of the pandemic compounded by a rapid recovery in demand has jammed seaports and airports and led transport costs to skyrocket.
"It's not something that will disappear overnight," Emirates SkyCargo Divisional Senior Vice President Nabul Sultan told Reuters at the Dubai air show.
"I believe honestly it's going to be at least another year or two if not more ... I think it is going to go beyond 2022," he said. "There are huge logistical challenges that are out there."
