CHARLOTTE, N.C. – October 29, 2026 -- Twenty-nine percent of U.S. consumers plan to do most of their holiday shopping in early to mid-December, up from 19% in 2025, while Black Friday's share fell from 25% to 17%, according to the Bank of America 2026 Holiday Spending Survey.

Fewer shoppers also plan to start early. Only 38% say they have shopped or will shop earlier this year, down from 52% in 2025. Bank of America Institute's Consumer Checkpoint nonetheless shows holiday spending increasing at a solid rate through September, so sentiment is running cooler than actual spending.

Mary Hines Droesch, Head of Consumer and Small Business Products and Analytics at Bank of America, said consumers are being "more deliberate" this year, even as the bank's spending data shows a healthy season start.

Freiburg – October 29, 2026 -- Lang Consulting GmbH says it has supported more than 1,200 online shops over more than seven years. The Freiburg-based agency is pitching verifiable credentials as the main filter for retailers choosing an e-commerce partner.

Founder and Managing Director Sven Lang argues that a wrong choice costs a shop operator more than the service budget. In the worst case, the retailer loses months in which the business should have been developing. In his view, polished websites and high revenue claims do not show who actually delivers the work, how experienced those people are, or which obligations the provider accepts. Lang built and ran online shops before founding the company.

MIAMI – October 29, 2026 -- Boeing projects that air cargo traffic will double over the next 20 years, lifting the global freighter fleet 67% from 2,395 airplanes in 2025 to 4,010 by 2045. The forecast, part of the company's 2026 World Air Cargo Forecast, was released at The International Air Cargo Association's Air Cargo Forum in Miami.

Operators need 2,930 new and converted freighters over 20 years

About 55% of those deliveries will add capacity, while roughly 45% will replace older, less efficient freighters. Two-thirds of deliveries will be converted passenger airplanes, and the remainder will be new-production freighters.

Dedicated freighters are expected to carry more than half of global air cargo traffic in the long term. Historically, main-deck freighters have moved approximately 55% of traffic measured in cargo tonne-kilometers.
