Abstract	The transportation of air cargo is greatly affected by geopolitical factors, especially concerning airspace accessibility and routing limitations. This study explores the wider effects of these elements on global freight forwarding, particularly drawing on experiences acquired during an internship at ‘Skyways Air Services Ltd.’, a freight forwarder company and part of ‘Skyways Group’ in June–July 2025. The research seeks to understand how airspace rules and associated geopolitical factors influence operational choices in airline logistics. It contemplates internal operations concerning booking modifications, pricing factors, and other collaboration among departments. The paper provides a conceptual insight into the connection between global politics and logistical planning by examining how freight forwarding firms manage these uncertainties. The results emphasize the necessity for freight forwarders to stay flexible in operations and aware of geopolitical factors in a more complex global landscape.
