Air freight benefits

  • Speed: Air freight is the fastest way to transport goods worldwide, with a turnaround time of days rather than weeks or months as with ocean freight.
  • Security: Air cargo is suitable for transporting goods that require a high degree of security.
  • Flexibility: Air freight offers flexible schedules and destinations, making it ideal for urgent or remote shipments.

Air freight disadvantages

  • High cost: High fuel costs make air freight one of the most expensive options for shipping goods.
  • Security checks: Special cargo may be subject to additional security checks, which can increase costs, although these checks are rare.
  • Limited capacity: Aircraft have limited cargo space, making large shipments difficult to transport.

Frequently asked air freight questions

How long does it take to deliver air freight?

The delivery time of air cargo depends on the destination, the type of flight (direct or indirect) and customs clearance. Generally, international air freight takes 1 to 5 days for standard shipments, while express services can be even faster.

What are the main types of air cargo?

Air cargo can be divided into general cargo, special cargo (such as dangerous goods, pharmaceuticals and perishables) and express shipments, which guarantee faster delivery.

What is the difference between air cargo and air cargo?

Air cargo is the term used for transporting goods by air. Air Cargo, on the other hand, refers to the actual shipment transported by air.

Air cargo can be transported in two ways: by charter flight or by scheduled flight. A charter flight involves hiring an aircraft specifically for the shipment, while a scheduled flight uses the standard cargo space of a regular airline.

How much does air freight cost?

Air freight costs are determined based on the weight or volume of the shipment, distance, type of service (standard or express) and any additional services such as customs clearance and insurance.

What is CBM and how is it calculated?

CBM (Cubic Meter) is the volume measure of a shipment. It is calculated by multiplying the length, width and height of a package in meters: CBM = Length (m) × Width (m) × Height (m).

What is chargeable weight and how is it calculated?

Chargeable weight is the weight on which freight charges are calculated and can be based on actual weight or volumetric weight. Volumetric weight is calculated as:
Volumetric weight (kg) = CBM × 167. The carrier compares the actual weight and volumetric weight and uses the higher of the two as the chargeable weight.
