Many of you have heard the horror story about the AeroMexico flight from Mexico City to Seattle that was forced to divert to Portland, Ore. The passengers reportedly were kept prisoners on that plane for 16 hours because the airport “didn’t have enough customs agents at the airport to process the flight.”

Passengers aren’t the only ones getting hit with fuel surcharges by the airlines. Air cargo carriers, who also must deal with an increase in jet fuel prices, are passing the cost to those who ship with them. As a result, cargo volume across the United States (and other parts of the world) are seeing a decrease in volume as companies are looking harder at how they ship their goods.
