China–Turkey Air Freight Market Analysis for Week 52, 2025Week 52 of 2025 falls on December 22-28. Positioned in the year-end peak freight season, this period coincides with the capacity release of the new Kunming–Istanbul air route and surging year-end stock-up demand. Against this backdrop, the China–Turkey air freight market exhibits such characteristics as optimized capacity, steadily differentiated freight rates, and diversified cargo structure. Below is a detailed analysis: Capacity SupplyNew Routes Supplementing CapacityThe regular international cargo route from Kunming to Istanbul, launched on November 18, served as a crucial capacity support for the air freight market in Week 52. Operated by Turkey’s MNG Airlines with an Airbus A330, this route offers a single-flight capacity of 60 tons and runs four times weekly. As Kunming’s first regular international cross-border e-commerce cargo route linking Eurasia, it not only expands the air freight corridor between southwest China and Turkey, but also complements the direct flights from traditional aviation hubs like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, thereby enriching the air route network layout between the two destinations. Major Airlines Guaranteeing Base CapacityLeading carriers including Turkish Airlines and China Southern Airlines maintained stable flight frequencies at key airports such as Shanghai Pudong, Guangzhou Baiyun, and Shenzhen Bao’an. Meanwhile, some freight forwarders have signed space charter agreements with multiple airlines, providing daily flights and diversified options including direct and transit services. This ensures stable base capacity during the peak season of Week 51, meeting the timeliness requirements of different shippers. Freight Rate LevelsTiered Pricing Based on Cargo WeightCurrent air freight rates from China to Turkey adopt tiered pricing based on cargo weight, with variations across different departure points and airlines. Take Shenzhen Airport as an example: Air China (CA) quotes a rate of RMB 23/kg for 100 kg of cargo, RMB 22.8/kg for 300 kg, RMB 21.6/kg for 500 kg, and RMB 21.5/kg for 1000 kg. For the Zhengzhou–Ankara route, the rate stands at as high as RMB 225/kg for 100 kg of cargo, but drops sharply to around RMB 40/kg for shipments of 300 kg and above, highlighting the significant cost advantages of bulk cargo transportation. Potential Upward Adjustment in Peak SeasonThe period from September to December constitutes the traditional peak season for air freight each year. Industry data shows that freight rates may rise by 15%–30% during this phase. As the year-end closing period, Week 51 will likely see actual freight rates higher than the off-season level, affected by tight shipping space and fuel costs. In addition, spot bookings may incur extra fees, meaning enterprises that book space in advance are more likely to secure preferential rates. Cargo TransportationCargo Types Focusing on High-Value Added and Specialty GoodsOn one hand, the transported goods focus on high-value added categories, such as electronic products, medical devices, and chips shipped from hub airports like Beijing and Shanghai. These goods align with the advantages of air freight—fast timeliness and high security—to meet the year-end restocking demand of relevant industries in the Turkish market. On the other hand, the cargo includes specialty goods. The new Kunming route is dedicated to transporting apparel, footwear, and local Yunnan fresh flowers, filling the gap in direct air freight for characteristic light industrial and perishable goods from southwest China to Turkey. Additionally, the Zhengzhou–Ankara route regularly carries textiles, mechanical equipment, and other commodities. Rising Share of Cross-Border E-Commerce CargoWith the deepening of cross-border e-commerce trade, e-commerce-related shipments have emerged as a key growth driver for air freight. Week 52 falls close to the year-end e-commerce promotion and stock-up window, leading to increased demand for transporting platform-related goods. Some “door-to-door delivery with customs clearance and tax included” air freight services have become popular choices among e-commerce sellers for their ability to mitigate customs clearance risks, further boosting the volume of e-commerce cargo transported by air.
