In 2024, we highlighted trends expected to shape the future of freight forwarding. As we enter 2025, many of these issues remain relevant, underscoring the enduring yet evolving dynamics of global logistics. While advancements have been made, the fundamental complexities around digitalisation, decarbonisation, and supply chain resilience persist, further amplified by upcoming regulations entering into force in 2025. Looking ahead to 2025, there is one trend everyone can agree on: disruption has become the new normal. Those in the industry who strive to adopt an antifragile system will not only withstand the stress of disruption but will thrive and become more effective from it. As we navigate these disruptions, the freight forwarding industry continues to grapple with similar challenges identified in previous years. While progress has been made in the industry, the need for innovation, collaboration, and strategic adaptation remains paramount. Freight forwarders embracing change, investing in technology, and prioritising antifragility will be better positioned to thrive in this dynamic landscape.

Women investors in the Indian mutual fund (MF) industry, especially from the smaller cities and towns, have grown more than 2.5 times (year-on-year) on average amid the boom in the stock market, a report showed on Saturday. Women's financial inclusion is increasing across urban and emerging regions and tier 4 cities saw a whopping over 140 per cent growth in women's participation in the MF market, according to data shared by online brokerage Groww. "While we had amazing growth across all segments in 2024, two segments stood out. Rise of women investors - number has doubled this year. And the number of portfolios with size greater than 1 crore tripled this year," Lalit Keshre, Co-founder and CEO, Groww, posted on X on Saturday. The women's participation in MFs saw more than 100 per cent growth in Metro, tier 1, 2 and 3 cities . Among the cities with the highest number of women MF investors are Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata (Metro) and Pune, Lucknow, Nagpur, Ahmedabad and Jaipur (Non-Metro). "Women's SIP contributions are 25 per cent higher than men's, and female SIP investors now make up one in four (compared to one in five last year)," the data showed. When it comes to monthly SIP contribution, the average ticket size is Rs 2,500 (indicating a focus on long-term wealth). Among the women SIP investors, 50 per cent are less than 30 years of age, followed by 33 per cent in the 30-40 year bracket and 17 per cent are age 40 and above. Meanwhile, the Indian mutual fund industry saw a meteoric rise in 2024, as the assets under management (AUM) of all MF schemes increased by more than Rs 17 lakh crore this year. According to data from the Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI), the mutual fund industry's AUM was Rs 68 lakh crore at the end of November 2024, which is Rs 17.22 lakh crore or 33 per cent more than the December 2023 figure of Rs 50.78 lakh crore. A record 42,76,207 investors joined the Indian stock market in November, the National Stock Exchange (NSE) data showed. As per a latest SBI Research report, the country is witnessing at least 30 million new demat accounts being opened every year since 2021.

Government regulators cleared American flights to get airborne about an hour after the Federal Aviation Administration ordered a national ground stop for the airline. The order, which prevented planes from taking off, was issued at the airline's request after it experienced trouble with its flight operating system, or FOS. The airline blamed technology from one of its vendors. As a result, flights were delayed across American’s major hubs, with only 36% of the airline's 3,901 domestic and international flights leaving on time, according to Cirium, an aviation analytics company. Fifty-one flights were canceled. Dennis Tajer, a spokesperson for the Allied Pilots Association, a union representing American Airlines pilots, said the airline told pilots at 7 a.m. Eastern that there was an outage affecting the FOS system. It handles different types of airline operations, including dispatch, flight planning, passenger boarding, as well as an airplane's weight and balance data, he said. Some components of FOS have gone down in the past, but a systemwide outage is rare, Tajer said. Hours after the ground stop was lifted, Tajer said the union had not heard about any “chaos out there beyond just the normal heavy travel day.” He said officials were watching for any cascading effects, such as staffing problems. On social media, however, customers expressed frustration with delays that caused them or their family members to miss connecting flights. One person asked if American planned to hold flights for passengers to make connections, while others complained about the lack of assistance they said they received from the airline or gate agents. Bobby Tighe, a real estate agent from Florida, said he will miss a family Christmas Eve party in New York because his American flight was repeatedly delayed. The delays made him miss a connecting flight, leaving him the choice of going to his destination — Westchester, New York — on Christmas Day or taking another flight to Newark, New Jersey, that was scheduled to land Tuesday evening. He chose the latter. “I’m just going to take an Uber or Lyft to the airport I was originally supposed to go to, pick up my rental car and kind of restart everything tomorrow,” Tighe said. He said his girlfriend was “going through the same exact situation” on her way from Dallas to New York. Cirium noted that the vast majority of flights were departing within two hours of their scheduled departure time. A similar percentage — 39% — were arriving at their destinations as scheduled. Dallas-Fort Worth, New York’s Kennedy Airport and Charlotte, North Carolina, saw the greatest number of delays, Cirium said. Washington, Chicago and Miami experienced considerably fewer delays. Meanwhile, the flight-tracking site FlightAware reported that 4,058 flights entering or leaving the U.S., or serving domestic destinations, were delayed, with 76 flights canceled. The site did not post any American Airlines flights on Tuesday morning, but it showed in the afternoon that 961 American flights were delayed. Amid the travel problems, significant rain and snow were expected in the Pacific Northwest at least into Christmas Day. Showers and thunderstorms were developing in the South. Freezing rain was reported in the Mid-Atlantic region near Baltimore and Washington, and snow fell in New York. Because the holiday travel period lasts weeks, airports and airlines typically have smaller peak days than they do during the rush around Thanksgiving, but the grind of one hectic day followed by another takes a toll on flight crews. And any hiccups — a winter storm or a computer outage — can snowball into massive disruptions. That is how Southwest Airlines stranded 2 million travelers in December 2022, and Delta Air Lines suffered a smaller but significant meltdown after a worldwide technology outage in July caused by a faulty software update from cybersecurity company CrowdStrike. Many flights during the holidays are sold out, which makes cancellations even more disruptive than during slower periods. That is especially true for smaller budget airlines that have fewer flights and fewer options for rebooking passengers. Only the largest airlines, including American, Delta and United, have “interline agreements” that let them put stranded customers on another carrier’s flights. This will be the first holiday season since a Transportation Department rule took effect that requires airlines to give customers automatic cash refunds for canceled or significantly delayed flights. Most air travelers were already eligible for refunds, but they often had to request them. Passengers still can ask to get rebooked, which is often a better option than a refund during peak travel periods. That’s because finding a last-minute flight on another airline tends to be expensive. An American spokesperson said Tuesday was not a peak travel day for the airline — with about 2,000 fewer flights than the busiest days — so the airline had somewhat of a buffer to manage the delays. The groundings happened as millions of travelers were expected to fly over the next 10 days. The Transportation Security Administration expects to screen 40 million passengers through Jan. 2. Airlines expect to have their busiest days on Thursday, Friday and Sunday. About 90% of Americans traveling far from home over the holidays will be in cars, according to AAA. “Airline travel is just really high right now, but most people do drive to their destinations, and that is true for every holiday,” AAA spokesperson Aixa Diaz said. Gasoline prices are similar to last year. The nationwide average Thursday was $3.04 a gallon, down from $3.13 a year ago, according to AAA. Charging an electric vehicle averages just under 35 cents per per kilowatt hour, but varies by state. Transportation-data firm INRIX says travel times on the nation’s highways could be up to 30% longer than normal over the holidays, with Sunday expected to see the heaviest traffic. Boston, New York City, Seattle and Washington are the metropolitan areas primed for the greatest delays, according to the company.

Donald Trump has nominated health economist Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, a vehement critic of COVID-19 lockdowns and vaccine mandates , to lead America's leading research agency, the National Institutes of Health. This is his latest pick as several of his Cabinet picks received "violent" threats recently. This nomination follows Trump's choice of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead Health and Human Services and Make America Healthy Again , a decision that has met with concern and criticism from the healthcare industry. In a statement Tuesday, Trump, who has previously tried to claim credit for the lifesaving Covid vaccines , declared Bhattacharya as his pick. Bhattacharya is a physician and professor at Stanford University School of Medicine. His nomination is pending Senate approval. Dr. Oz seeks to privatize Medicare as uninsured 'do not have right to health' Israel warned over 'extremely dangerous' next move that makes Gaza look like 'child's play' He will work together with RFK Jr. "to direct the Nation’s Medical Research, and to make important discoveries that will improve Health, and save lives," Trump's statement said. "Together, Jay and RFK Jr. will restore the NIH to a Gold Standard of Medical Research as they examine the underlying causes of, and solutions to, America’s biggest Health challenges, including our Crisis of Chronic Illness and Disease," he added. Bhattacharya, 56, shared a statement on X, saying that he is "honored and humbled" by Trump's decision. "We will reform American scientific institutions so that they are worthy of trust again and will deploy the fruits of excellent science to make America healthy again," he said. He is one of the three authors of the Great Barrington Declaration, an open letter written in October 2020 during Trump's administration and before the vaccine. It denounced the pandemic lockdowns, saying that they cause great harm to society. The document perpetuated "herd immunity." This concept says that people at low risk should live normal lives to build up immunity to the virus by contracting the infection. Those at higher risk should be protected instead, the document insisted. During a panel discussion with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in March 2021, he called lockdowns "the single biggest public health mistake."

Bhattacharya has also argued that vaccine mandates have undermined American trust in the public health system as many unvaccinated people have been barred from workplaces, schools and actitivies. Bhattacharya faced social media restrictions due to these views and was a plaintiff in Muthy v. Missouri, a Supreme Court case that argues against federal officials allegedly censoring conservative viewpoints on social media in the quest to combat misinformation. The Biden administration emerged a victor in the case. After Elon Musk acquired Twitter in 2022, he met Bhattacharya and later reinstated him on the platform like many other right-wing influencers.
