Airlift is fast and safe. The high efficiency of punctuality has won a considerable market, which greatly shortens the delivery time, and has greatly promoted the capital turnover and circulation of the logistics supply chain. Major airlines have poured a large number of flights into the cargo space. However, the relative shipping cost of air transportation is relatively high, and the cost ratio of sea air transportation is about 1:10.

Air freight inquiry 8 elements:

1. Name (dangerous goods)

2. Weight (related to charges), volume (size and whether or not to be used)

3. Packaging (whether wooden cases, whether there are pallets)

4. Destination airport (basic point)

5. Time required (direct or indirect)

6. Request flight (service and price difference of each flight)

7. Type of bill of lading (master list and separate sheet)

8. Transportation service (customs declaration mode, agency documents, customs clearance, etc.)

Air freight is divided into heavy cargo and cargo. 1CBM=167KG volume weight is compared with the actual weight, which one should be charged according to which? Of course, there is a little secret in the airlift, which should be known to the peers. The manufacturers that don't understand can think for themselves.

Air freight structure -- you know what?

There are a lot of people who do air transportation. Do you know how the airline price is calculated? A brief introduction, I hope to help you.

Air freight composition:

1.Airfreight freight (collected by airlines)

2. Arg sur charge Fuel surcharge (according to different price point airport, Hong Kong is now generally about $4, 3.6, 4.8 last year, the price changed from the airport, go to Asia is commonly 2 pieces)

3. Security fee (hk $1 /kg fixed fee)

4. Airport operation fee (Hong Kong is HKD283/ ticket, the airport is responsible for the delivery of goods, etc.)

5. Terminal costs: 1.72/kg when the goods are delivered to the house, the banker shall be responsible for the board and other matters, which shall be collected by the airport.

6. Airline master bill: HKD15/bl is the cost of the bill of lading -- the document of real right.

The above is the composition of accounting expenses for most airlines, mainly Hong Kong airport. Because Hong Kong is a very large free trade port, and Hong Kong airport is the world's largest airport, with fewer restrictions, more scope and more cargo planes, there are 78 airlines. There are more than 100 flights a day, which can be the first choice in the case of cabin and service. However, the cost is generally about two blocks higher than the domestic price.
