Expeditors International is a US freight forwarder weighted heavily toward airfreight, with strong trans-Pacific technology lanes; much of its air tonnage is high-tech electronics moving out of Asian manufacturing hubs. Unlike an asset-heavy carrier, it buys and resells air capacity while adding customs and coordination. Its hook sits in deployment lead time: as AI servers and components flow from Asia to Western data centers, the forwarders controlling those lanes benefit when speed, not price, is what customers are paying for.
