AIRFORWARDERS ASSOCIATION REGRETS RESUMPTION OF HOSTILITIES BETWEEN UNITED STATES AND IRAN
Washington D.C., United States, Friday July 10th 2026: The Airforwarders Association (AfA) regrets the resumption of hostilities between the United States and Iran, which risks renewed disruption for consumers and businesses in the United States, and for the wider global economy.
The air cargo industry must again step up to bolster supply chain resilience amid the uncertainty caused by the conflict.
We are concerned that renewed instability will add further pressure to fuel prices, operating costs, routing decisions, and time critical cargo movements.
The priority now must be to provide a route back to stable and predictable global trade, and the AfA calls on policymakers to engage directly with industry partners to assess and mitigate the impact on vital supply chains.
We will continue to monitor events closely, remain ready to support members, and advocate for practical steps to keep freight moving.
About the Airforwarders Association
The Airforwarders Association (AfA) represents hundreds of U.S companies dedicated to moving cargo through the supply chain on all modes of transport.
AfA has been supporting member companies of all sizes for 35 years, acting as the voice of the industry and lobbying legislators to help drive sustainable practices and ensure resilient, safe, secure supply chains.
As an alliance of indirect air carriers, cargo airlines and related businesses operating across the global transportation community, we represent member companies dedicated to moving air cargo through the supply chain.
Our members include not only air forwarders, but truckers, airlines, warehouse operators and businesses delivering a range of supporting services including technology, training, compliance, insurance and legal, just to name a few industries.
From campaigning for better national infrastructure to opening discussions about carbon reductions and digitilization – AfA has promoted hundreds of its members and streamlined business models to continue the growing industry.
