Air freight or Air Cargo is the transportation of goods by aircraft. It involves booking cargo with an airline or freight forwarder, preparing necessary documentation, packaging the goods securely, transporting them by air, clearing customs, and delivering them to the recipient. Air freight Services offer fast transit times but can be more expensive compared to other shipping methods.
Air cargo services typically use various pricing models:
Weight or Volume-Based: Air freight Charges are based on the weight or volume of the cargo, whichever is higher. Rates may vary depending on the weight category or volume tier.
Chargeable Weight: Airlines calculate charges based on the chargeable weight, which is the higher of the actual weight or volumetric weight (calculated based on the dimensions of the shipment).
Freight Class: Some carriers use a freight class system, where different types of goods are assigned to specific classes with corresponding rates.
Fuel Surcharge: Airlines may apply a fuel surcharge to offset fluctuations in fuel prices, which can vary depending on market conditions.
Additional Services: Air freight Charges may apply for additional services such as expedited handling, special handling for hazardous materials, temperature-controlled transportation, or insurance coverage.
Customs and Duties: Customers may be responsible for paying customs duties, taxes, and other fees associated with importing/exporting goods, which are not included in the air cargo service charges.
