Air Freight
We all know that the main reason behind the limitation of Air Freight is its cost, it cost approximately 5-6 times more than road transport and nearly about 12-13 times of sea transport. We provide Air Freight Services and the transport material basically vary from $1.50 to $5 per kg, whereas the value of air cargo always exceeds $4 per kg. Goods that are shipped by air either are very precious or are very sensitive, such as pharmaceuticals, documents, production samples, fashion garments, and many more. At times, we also include some goods that need an emergency shipment of spare parts.
Reports claim that the demand for air freight exports has been limited from a few landlocked developing countries as most of the enterprises transport a small amount of low-value goods. The main items that are exported from other developing countries are electronic parts, fresh food, and vegetables. Companies usually use Air Freight Transport Services for shipping goods that are valuable. But most of the companies avoid sending it through the air as the cost of air freight is comparatively very high.
Gaining Competitive Advantage
The usage of Freight Transport by Air can create a huge competitive advantage. For example, producers can deliver the item to the consumer in a very short period of time if the cargo is taking a lot of time, it will also help in increasing customer satisfaction. On the other hand manufacturer of electronic items, garments and goods usually use ocean freight to deliver their product, but they can shift to air freight If the demand is more than expected.
Diversifying
Experts claim that air freight can be used as a weapon for diversification- in order to provide trustful delivery of small quantities in the new market. Once the market gets established and the quantity increase, the manufacturer can rebuild the supply chain by taking a less costly mode of transport.
Shipping Sample
Air freight can be critical in the shipment of item design, technical drawing, and patterns. As well all know it is not the major source of air cargo, it becomes very critical for the manufacturers who work is to export manufactured products. The most important thing is to satisfy the desire to exchange samples with the interested buyer. For contract manufacturing, this simply includes the prototype that is sent to the buyer’s approval before starting the production. Samples can also be required for promoting the campaign or for testing it.
Moving Cargo Quickly
As we all know that the main advantage of using air freight is that we can save a lot of time, cargo is also likely to move very fast through an airport. The factors on which the time of cargo operation depends are as follows: custom clearance procedure, the efficiency of cargo handlers, the layout of storage facilities, and the cargo inspection procedure.
