Summary

The Cincinnati Northern Kentucky International Airport just opened an 80,000 square foot airside warehouse designed for non-express general cargo, marking the first completed project at the new CVG Global Logistics Park. This dedicated area for cargo activity separates it from passenger traffic to increase efficiency, and it exists alongside the primary U.S. air hubs for Amazon Air and DHL Express. The Port of Savannah shows resilience against trade war fears, handling 534,037 TEUs in August, which is a 9% year-over-year increase and the third highest volume in its history. Although container volumes were robust, totaling over 1.01 million TEUs fiscal year to date, the Port of Savannah did see a decline of 14.3% year-over-year in autos and machinery shipments. We discuss the bleak outlook for the still-waging Canada Post battle, as industry analysts suggest mail carriers on strike are actively jeopardizing their own jobs. Analysts argue that the striking carriers’ demands prevent Canada Post from undertaking necessary restructuring needed to modernize and win back parcel customers who have already fled to courier companies.
