Air cargo delivery – speed and reliability of transportation around the world

The Grand Logistics Company provides international air transportation to different countries of the world. Transport and forwarding activities provide documentary support for import and export deliveries, including filling out declarations, paying customs duties and fees. The procedure for clearing imports at customs includes value added tax, excise tax, and duty. International air cargo transportation also includes indirect payments: the presence of a container in a customs warehouse requires a qualification certificate, licensing fees, and temporary placement in the warehouse area. When organizing the transportation of products by air, managers minimize the waiting time for overload and downtime in order to reduce customer costs.

Types of air cargo transportation

Air freight delivery is classified according to the type of load, transportation directions and cargo category. Air cargo transportation is of the following types:

1. General transport of artificial cargo in packaging - barrels, big bags, containers, packages, sacks, boxes, packages. The sender of the goods is one company, so this type of transportation is characterized by fast delivery and efficiency in organizing the transport process.
2. Fellow travelers deliver a small shipment on flights (sometimes passenger flights) bound for the consignee. One of the main advantages of this type of transportation is the low cost of air transport services.
3. A consolidated cargo delivery option involves equipping a cargo ship with artificial goods from different senders. The cargo is consolidated in the train until the optimal shipment volume is obtained. Air delivery by prefabricated method is characterized by low transportation costs.
