CargoAi Ranks Best and Worst Air Cargo Routes as Reliability Declines

Air cargo reliability weakened last year, with CargoAi reporting an overall Delivery As Promised (DAP) score of 62.7% amid tariff changes, network realignments and peak-season congestion. Route rankings reveal strong regional contrasts. East Asian short-haul corridors topped the list, led by Taipei (TPE)–Incheon (ICN) at 96%, Incheon (ICN)–Narita (NRT) at 94% and Narita (NRT)–Incheon (ICN) at 93%. In contrast, Asia–Europe routes ranked lowest, including Chengdu (CTU)–Frankfurt (FRA) at 26%, Shanghai (PVG)–Frankfurt (FRA) at 26% and Chengdu Tianfu (TFU)–Frankfurt (FRA) at 25%. The most reliable airlines were Emirates SkyCargo (UAE/EK), TUI (TUI/X3), American Airlines (AAL/AA), Air China (CCA/CA) and Royal Air Maroc (RAM/AT).
