AIR TRANSPORTATION

Cases when air transportation is necessary:                 

• Transcontinental air-freight transportation

• Urgent air-freight transportation

• Sending of freights by plane to hard-to reach and isolated regions

• Air transportation of specific or high-value loads, e.g., animals or sensitive equipment

Freights appropriate for sending by plane:

·         Perishables

·         Freights, requiring special conditions of delivery

·         Heavy-weight freights

·         Outsize and hazardous freights in specific situations

·         And many others.

Most of the freight aircrafts are designed for huge amounts of freights; however, transportation of such amounts is required by no means always. In this case we offer our clients transportation of “consolidated loads”.
 

Cost of air-freight transportation 

Settlement rules for the freight’s volumetric weight are established by the International Air Transport Association (IATA). The formula provided below is used for determining the cost of air-freight transportation by plane.

Cost of airfreight is calculated on the basis of two main parameters of the freight: 

1. actual (or gross) weight = weight of the freight
2. volumetric weight

Cost of air transportation is made up of 3 criteria:

1.airfreight (calculated according to the volumetric or actual weight, the bigger of them)
2.fuel surcharge (according to the actual weight)
3.security fee (according to the actual weight)
