In the present scenario, consumers are inclining toward online shopping (e-commerce), which has resulted in increased cross-border sales, thereby boosting the Europe air cargo market. In addition, the provision of air cargo, including faster delivery speed and high investments by governments of various European countries in favor of air cargo, fuels the growth of the Europe air cargo market. However, presently overcapacity and complexities of temperature-sensitive products such as difficulty in temperature-sensitive cargo operations are a few of the key challenges faced by the air cargo industry in Europe.

With the constant increase in the demand for air cargo, several players operating in the supply chain such as DHL Express, FedEx, Cargolux, and Singapore Airlines are significantly investing to compete in the Europe air cargo market. For instance, in May 2022, to deploy five Boeing 777 freighters, DHL Express and Singapore Airlines (SIA) signed a Crew and Maintenance agreement (CM). The DHL Express partnership represents a "further step" in expanding its intercontinental aviation network to satisfy customer demand in quickly expanding international express shipping markets. Such instances have been catalyzing the air cargo market growth across Europe.

Moreover, with the growing demand for air cargo from the pharmaceutical industry, the air cargo market players are making necessary technological strides to cope with the fast-growing demand for pharmaceuticals. For instance, in January 2019, an airport-to-airport (A2A) pharmaceutical corridor was established between Brussels Airport and Hong Kong International Airport to provide services to fulfill the demands of pharmaceutical shipments. The two airports collaborated with the pharmaceutical industry. The aerospace industry aims to provide the necessary services and standards for better handling of temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical products. Both airports have earned the Centre of Excellence for Independent Validators in Pharmaceutical Logistics (CEIV Pharma) certification from the International Air Transport Association (IATA), which guarantees that airport cargo service providers can handle pharmaceutical shipments under strict guidelines. The industry recently made new developments in monitoring temperature-sensitive goods on the land and air. Thus, the factors mentioned above are driving the Europe air cargo market growth.

The Europe air cargo market ecosystem involves the physical and documentary movement of freight from the origin (forwarder) to the destination (consignee). The flows are always indistinguishable; however, the agents involved in the process could be different. Air freight forwarders perform many of the same responsibilities as air freight consolidators, with the exception that smaller forwarders may co-load with others rather than undertake their consolidations. The air freight forwarder is a shipper to the airlines. An air freight forwarder is classified as an indirect air carrier; however, several air freight forwarders own and operate their aircraft. A forwarder will ensure that products are entered in advance and that all necessary paperwork is completed for efficient operations.

Customers cannot afford to pay delays or additional expenses from airlines when transporting goods by air. A reputable freight forwarder will monitor the entire process, track shipments, reduce delays, and communicate with customs and airlines on their behalf. Airport cargo and ramp handling workers can prepare air cargo for flight after accepting ready-for-carry shipments. The products in transit must be received and re-screened for security. Transit cargo refers to items left on aircraft while in transit. These transit goods must be subjected to security procedures, including x-ray and Explosive Trace Detection (ETD) screening, by cargo and ground handling services. A thorough examination of the e-AWB, cargo integrity, and component count is performed. Once the pre-plan details are received from the carrier, a build-up plan is prepared, indicating the details regarding whether air cargo is built for flight, and this information is sent to the warehouse.

The Europe air cargo market size is segmented on the basis of type, service, end user, and country. In terms of type, the Europe air cargo market is bifurcated into air mail and air freight.
