Airfreight is used mainly for high value, perishable, urgent and
fragile
goods. Usually air freight rates are
airport to airport and are charged on
the basis of either per KG, or per 6,000
cubic centimetres, which ever is
the most expensive.
It is our experience that the air freight
option is often selected on
subjective, rather than objective grounds.
For instance, urgent orders are
frequently shipped to Europe by air,
when express road freight is faster and
cheaper, simply because it is perceived
as being quicker.
How can we help?
We audit air waybills and flight schedules and establish how many agents and
airlines are handling your goods; whether your goods are being transhipped
and what routings are being used. We can evaluate whether you are taking
advantage of special commodity and class rates and whether weight break
points are being applied by your freight forwarder.
