Asia-Europe air cargo stabilizes as Real Madrid finds early success

Air cargo traffic between Asia and Europe appears to be stabilizing following several weeks of decline triggered by new customs duties on low-cost e-commerce shipments. According to WorldACD analysis for the week of August 17–23, tonnage moved increased by 1% weekly, though volumes remain 8% lower than the previous year. Specifically, shipments from Hong Kong have dropped 33% year-on-year, while mainland China has seen an 8% decrease.

In sports, Real Madrid has enjoyed a strong start to the season under manager José Mourinho. Following a 4-0 victory over Málaga, club president Florentino Pérez expressed satisfaction with the team's cohesion, noting that Mourinho has successfully convinced the players to play as a unified team.

Despite the positive momentum, some fans are calling for defensive reinforcements before the transfer window closes. A recent poll indicated that 77% of readers believe the club should sign Inter Milan defender Alessandro Bastoni to address injury concerns and bolster the backline.
