Paris: An environmental pressure group denounced Wednesday the rising emissions of the air freight industry, which has been boosted by global supply chain difficulties and rising online commerce.
According to Stand Earth, a US-Canadian group, pollution from the air freight sector has increased by 25 percent since 2019.
A report by the group fournd that market distortions caused by Covid-19 pandemic travel restrictions and supply chain disruptions boosted the air freight cargo sector.
"Prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, air freight was dominated, logically, by perishable goods, time-sensitive deliveries, and luxury items," said the report.
The pandemic forced industries to shift to air freight to transport a greater variety of goods.
