Hermes Aviation expects strong growth in air cargo movement between Mexico and Europe, along with Asia, by the end of 2024, transporting mainly perishable and automotive products. For 2025, the outlook continues to be one of growth, although it will closely follow Donald Trump’s arrival to the presidency of the United States.
Christian Platteau, CEO of the firm, tells T21 that this year they will seek to expand their presence in the land sector and improve the services of the airlines represented. “Our plan is to maintain the market shares gained and exceed customer service expectations,” he says.
For this reason, he affirms that its growth will continue, although “everything depends on the negative or positive effect of the northern neighbor, especially operations to Asia could increase significantly.”
“(The Trump effect) will have a significant impact on Mexico, it will be politically important not to fall into his populist traps and to react prudently to any challenge posed,” he anticipates.
It is worth mentioning that the International Air Transport Association (IATA) points out that, although 2024 is shaping up to be an exceptional year for air cargo, 2025 should be viewed with some caution, due to Donald Trump’s announcement of tariffs on Canada, China and Mexico , which could affect global supply chains.
