Air Cargo - These are just a few headlines of how natural disasters have brought freight and transportation to a complete standstill over the last couple of years. When Hurricane Harvey swept through Houston, all major logistics hubs were forced to down shutters. Harvey shut down the Ports of Galveston and Corpus Christi, Houston’s William P. Hobby and Bush airports, thus crippling the entire freight and road transportation network. With America’s oil industry centered in Houston, it also sent significant shockwaves through energy markets. Southwest and United Airlines also bore the brunt of the load as each of their respective hubs in the region shut down for several days.
