KLN Oceania's 9 June 2026 advisory reports month-on-month FCL rate increases into Australia of 25% from China, 22% from North Asia (Taiwan, Korea, Japan), and 15% from Southeast Asia and the Indian Subcontinent. For a standard 40GP to Sydney that is roughly USD 600 to 900 more than in May.

KLN blames carriers tightly managing deployed capacity on Pacific and Asia-Australia lanes, plus a pick-up in shipper demand entering the second quarter. Air freight stayed broadly flat at about USD 5.50 per kilogram and LCL rates were relatively stable.
