Some FAQ
Air freight refers to the transportation of goods by aircraft. It is one of the fastest methods of shipping goods internationally. Air freight works by loading goods into cargo holds of airplanes, which then fly to their destination airports. Once the plane lands, the goods are unloaded, processed through customs, and delivered to their final destination, typically by truck or rail.
The primary advantages of air freight are: • Speed: Air freight is the fastest method of shipping goods, making it ideal for urgent or time-sensitive shipments. • Global Reach: Air freight can connect virtually any two locations in the world, including remote or landlocked areas that may be difficult to access by sea. • Safety: Air transport is generally considered safer, with a lower risk of damage or theft during transit compared to other methods like sea freight. However, air freight tends to be more expensive than sea freight, especially for larger, heavier shipments.
Air freight is typically used for goods that are time-sensitive, valuable, or need to be delivered quickly. Common items include: • Perishable goods (e.g., food, flowers, pharmaceuticals) • Electronics (e.g., smartphones, computers) • High-value items (e.g., jewelry, luxury goods) • Emergency shipments (e.g., replacement parts, urgent medical supplies) • Documents and samples (e.g., contracts, test samples) These items benefit from the speed and reliability of air transport.
CBM (Cubic Meters) is a unit of measurement used to calculate the volume of goods being shipped. It is important for determining shipping costs, as both air and sea freight often charge based on the volume or weight of the shipment (whichever is greater). To calculate CBM, use the following formula: CBM = Length (m) x Width (m) x Height (m) Make sure to measure each item or package accurately, and if the items are irregularly shaped, you might need to calculate the volume of each part separately. This calculation helps freight companies determine the space your goods will occupy in a shipping container or aircraft.
