News in Brief Podcast | Week 27 2026 | Air forwarder liability and Maersk optimism Â

This week on the News in Brief podcast, we unpack one of the biggest changes to air freight liability in decades, as new IATA direct air waybill rules shift greater responsibility onto freight forwarders – sparking a fierce dispute with FIATA and raising major concerns across the industry.Â

We also examine Maersk’s dramatic upgrade to its earnings forecast and what it reveals about today’s container shipping market, from surcharges and soaring freight rates to capacity management and worsening port congestion.

Joining us, ShiftX UK founder Keith Gaskin shares his perspective on the pressures facing shippers and how the market is evolving.Â

Plus, Loadstar publisher Alex Lennane discusses the implications of the new IATA rules, the end of the EU’s de minimis exemption for low-value imports, brings insights from Hactl in Paris, and the week’s top Premium stories.Â

All in under 25 minutes! Â
