Skilled Labor Shortage Slows Air Freight in Germany
Published
Air freight forwarders in Germany achieved stable results in the third quarter. Handling volumes remained largely unchanged compared with the previous quarter. At the same time, a problem for the industry is growing: qualified workers are in short supply.
The shortage of skilled workers affects many areas of air freight, such as handling, warehousing, and the organization of transport. As a result, it is becoming more difficult for companies to fill open positions. Demand for qualified personnel is rising, while the supply on the labor market remains limited.
The development shows that air freight faces major challenges despite the stable figures. Without sufficient personnel, the industry can only continue its growth to a limited extent. Experts expect that the shortage of skilled workers will remain an important issue in the coming months.
For logistics companies in Germany, this means above all that they must invest in training and in retaining their employees in order to remain competitive.
