What happens when smartphone shipments suddenly drop, tariffs shake up trade lanes, or e-commerce volumes swing wildly?

That’s when firms like Aevean step in to decode the chaos behind the numbers.

At air cargo Europe 2025, Marco Bloemen, Managing Director of Aevean, spoke to STAT’s Assistant Editor Libin Chacko Kurian to share how his boutique consulting firm helps air cargo players make sense of shifting trends. Using a mix of customs data, satellite tracking, and machine learning, Aevean brings clarity to complex supply chain movements.

Marco explains why their approach starts with strategy, not spreadsheets. He breaks down how they read air trade by combining value, volume, and trend signals. He also reveals what triggered a sharp 15% dip in Transpacific smartphone cargo and why Southeast Asian markets like Vietnam, Taiwan, and Malaysia are gaining ground as sourcing hubs.

From low-value electronics to fast-moving plastics, Marco shows how e-commerce has reshaped air cargo in unexpected ways. But even amid shocks and surprises, he believes the e-commerce model isn’t going anywhere.

If you’re flying freighters, managing fleets, or mapping the next move in global trade, Aevean’s insights go far beyond the surface.
