General overview: Currently, space on all routes remains extremely limited, particularly in South China (Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Xiamen), due to a reduced number of flights and restricted cargo capacity. This shortage has led to an increase in air freight rates.
The situation is further exacerbated by a surge in bookings from e-commerce companies ahead of Black Friday. As these companies ramp up their shipments to meet increased consumer demand, the competition for available cargo space has intensified, leading to further rate hikes.

SF Airlines starts weekly Hubei-Hong Kong route
SHENZHEN, China-headquartered cargo operator SF Airlines has launched a new route between Hubei province in central China and Hong Kong.
The inaugural flight on the route departed from Ezhou Huahu International Airport on October 30 using a Boeing 737-400 freighter, according to London's Air Cargo News, citing Xinhua.
Three round-trip flights are scheduled on this route every week, providing about 100 tonnes of air transport capacity weekly.
The route will provide e-commerce express capacity for this year's Double Eleven online shopping festival, also known as the Singles' Day shopping festival and a Chinese version of Black Friday.
The new route is also Ezhou Huahu Airport's first all-cargo route to Hong Kong, said the cargo airline, which currently operates more than 60 domestic and international routes from Ezhou Huahu.
Earlier this year, the airline launched new routes between Urumqi, China and Budapest and between Ezhou Huahu and Budapest.
