News in Brief podcast | Week 21 2026 | Overcapacity, contracting, and elevated air rates

By Charlotte Goldstone 24/05/2026 This week on The Loadstar News in Brief Podcast, Charlotte Goldstone is joined by Noatum Logistics’ Stephanie Loomis to unpack the shifting dynamics in ocean freight, from the disappearance of traditional peak season patterns to evolving carrier behaviour amid persistent overcapacity. They also discuss how tariff-driven supply chain adaptations are reshaping global trade routes – and which changes may be here to stay. Later, The Loadstar‘s Alex Lennane returns to examine the latest fallout from Middle East disruption, including the growing pressure on air cargo from the AI boom and helium shortages, why jet fuel fears have eased but costs remain elevated, and the safety allegations facing cargo handler AGI at New York airports. Plus, a roundup of this week’s Loadstar Premium stories.   Watch the episode on YouTube and subscribe so you never miss an update!   Click here to receive an email notification every time we release a podcast.
