Air freight service is a common service in the global transportation system. Air transportation is the most appropriate and the best method of transportation to transport cargo quickly and safely.
Use of air transportation method
Originally designed to transport passengers, airplanes have become one of the most widely used vehicles for commercial use. Every year, the use of cargo planes to transport goods is growing thanks to the design of air containers with greater capacity, increased efficiency and lower fuel consumption. This has made the use of air transportation increasingly affordable.
In many cases, cargo journeys are carried out in a mixed manner by carrying both passengers and goods. However, cargo planes have special features that increase their performance. Their wider body and high capacity allow the entry of bulky cargo such as cars and trucks. They also have large doors to facilitate loading, unloading and optimal cargo placement.

Reasons for using air freight
Air transportation is currently used by most industrial sectors and product manufacturers and exporters. Because its speed and extensive connections make it an ideal means of transportation for many import and export needs.
High value goods
Luxury goods in which delivery time and safety are priority.
Urgent goods
Goods that cannot wait due to wear and tear or because a delay in shipping them would incur additional costs.
These may be perishable food, medicines, humanitarian aid, commercial products, documents and so on.
Advantages of air transport
High shipping speed
Airplanes are the fastest means of transportation available, and for this reason, they are especially recommended when short delivery times are required. If sea freight is calculated by days or weeks, air freight is calculated by hours.
Availability of air transportation
There are thousands of flights per day. Their movement facilitates transportation at any time and to any place. Without geographical barriers, it enables unlimited travel and always chooses the shortest and most direct route between seas or mountains.
Wide geographic coverage
It is even possible to reach remote places or areas that are not easily accessible by other means of transportation.
High reliability
It has the lowest percentage of cargo loss or breakage. For this reason, the insurance of goods in air transport is less than land or sea.
Fewer logistics and customs formalities when transporting cargo
Air transportation is easier than sea transportation and does not need to stop at the customs of countries and intermediate cities. Customs formalities are performed only at the customs of origin and customs of destination.
Disadvantages of the air transport system
High shipping cost
It is the most expensive means of transportation. This makes it unsuitable for transporting low-cost goods. However, the economic cost is justified by its speed and delivery time compared to other transportation methods. Moreover, the prices are gradually decreasing with the development of this industry.
Possible cancellation and delay in flights
Unfavorable weather conditions can cause the cancellation or delay of scheduled flights. This problem is more visible in rainy seasons and windy areas and bad weather conditions. For this reason, the importance of paying attention to the weather conditions of origin, flight path and destination is very important.
Fixed load capacity
Cargo planes have limited and fixed load capacity. In commercial aircraft, cargo space availability depends on passenger demand. Cargo aircraft with more cargo storage space are increasingly available, but are still not sufficiently competitive with other means of cargo transportation. If there is a need for air transportation of very bulky consignments and with large quantities, it may be necessary to send the cargo in several times and with a certain time interval.
Limitation of permitted shipments
There are many legal security restrictions on shipments. Air transportation of petroleum, oil, dangerous and flammable products is one of these types of cases.
Huge investment
Air travel requires huge costs in airport construction and maintenance. It also requires professional, qualified and qualified staff, which requires significant investment.
We found that air transportation requires high technical knowledge and sufficient skill and experience. In order to receive expert advice and receive the best solutions and air transportation services, contact our experts at Blue Ocean Support Company.
