Dear readers! We present to your attention the third issue of the LOGISTICS journal for 2025. Our editorial staff, like all our colleagues, is preparing for the TransRussia 2025 exhibition, the largest event in the industry. In this issue, we have prepared an interview with Natalia Lomunova, Director of TransRussia, with whom we are talking about a flexible approach, new participants and digital services. We continue the series of articles from P.V.
Dear readers! We present to your attention the first issue of the LOGISTICS journal in 2025. First of all, we would like to draw readers' attention to our new partner R1 Development, a development company that creates a new generation environment and specializes in the construction of industrial, logistics, commercial and residential real estate. One of the projects of R1 Development is the Druzhba industrial park network.
Dear readers! We present to your attention the final issue of the LOGISTICS journal in 2024. We have tried to make it rich and interesting. Today, many Russian companies operate under strict sanctions restrictions, which force them to reorient logistics flows. One of the possible solutions to this problem may be the Russia – Mongolia – China economic corridor. Details can be found in the article by Alexandra Kazunina.

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) released data for global air freight markets showing that in August freight markets stabilised after two months of decline. Measured in freight tonne kilometres (FTK’s), air cargo volumes rose 0.2 percent compared to the same month a year ago, consistent with developments in world trade activity. This is a modest improvement on July performance when freight demand contracted by 0.6 percent year-over-year. Speaking on the current state of the air cargo market, IATA’s Director General and CEO Tony Tyler, said:
“After declines in June and July, signs of a stabilisation in air cargo are welcome. But all is not well. Total volumes are down 2 percent compared to the end of 2014. And some of the key reasons for the earlier weakness – for example, downgraded growth expectations in emerging Asia, and the rebalancing of the Chinese economy toward domestic consumption – are still there. Even though world trade volumes have slightly picked up, the industry will have to work hard to match the strong finish to 2014.”
Airlines in Asia Pacific continue to experience weakness, but declines in volumes eased up a bit as trade to and from emerging Asia stopped shrinking. A slight improvement for European carriers also helped contain further declines in the industry with airlines in the region seeing a small 0.7 percent rise on a year ago. Recent improvements in Eurozone manufacturing business activity could finally be starting to support air freight demand.
The results varied widely by region with carriers in the Middle East once again reporting the most significant growth at 10.4 percent which globally helped offset some of the decline that North American carriers experienced, down 3.3 percent in August year-on-year. As expected airlines in North America continue to see significant falls in FTK volumes since the boost from modal shift due to sea port congestion earlier in the year.
