Air Cargo Transport

Do you need to organize supplies quickly or even faster over long distances? By using air transport (air cargo, air freight) you may enjoy a rapid delivery of goods to all over the world, almost every country and city.

Air Cargo is a historically evolved hand in hand with the carriage of passengers - when passenger traffic by air started as a business, it was necessary to carry also the baggage along with passengers. Still some space was left sometimes, so then it became possible to add some cargo on a aircraft  baggage compartments.

Air Cargo has become very important sector of logistics today, and although the dependence on the passenger transport has continued, air cargo services are not limited to the passenger traffic. Many major airlines have created a separate air cargo units or subsidiaries, which operate mainly freighter aircrafts. In addition, depending on the distance and the aircraft capacity, air cargo is often combined with road transport feedering systems.

As the equipment and modes of transport are allowing, there are virtually no weight and size restrictions: the size and weight of the goods are limited only with the freighter cargo compartment load and volume capacity. For example, Boeing 747F freighters are carrying as much as 120 tonnes per aircraft, and the freighter accommodates about 200 cubic meters. The largest items which can be transported Boeing 747F, has been generators and similar machinery weighing about 50 tonnes per piece.

Freight transport by air is an essential part of international logistics, while in total it can handle less volumes, of course, than ocean transport. Careful planning of supplies and especially when raw materials are concerned can enable to cope without the using air transportation at all. However, if the supply of goods has to be carried out in days  rather than in weeks and months, you have no other option but to use air freight.
