Main features and types of air transportation

The fast pace of life dictates its rules, so now it is impossible to imagine cargo transportation without aviation, which plays a major role in the transportation of passengers and the delivery of various types of cargo (over long and short distances). Air transport has the advantage of high speed and is sometimes indispensable, for example when transporting drugs, medical equipment and organs for emergency transplants, or a team of rescuers to a rescue site.

Smart Cargo Solutions provides air express delivery services by air transport in compliance with all regulations.

Classification of air cargo

Air transportation is classified by destination, distance to destination, type of loading, and category of cargo. Currently, logistics companies use the following types of air transportation to deliver goods and transport passengers:

  • simple
  • connected
  • cumulative
  • team

The customer of the first type of cargo is the owner of the transported cargo, who orders its delivery from the airline to the destination. The advantage of such air transportation is the high speed and efficiency of transportation. Passenger and cargo transportation is carried out by planes flying in the desired direction ։3d illustration of air cargo concept Container with flight wings in the sky with no backgroundBy ordering the delivery of such cargo, you can save money, however, you will have to wait for passing air transport. A feature of connecting flights, which carry cargo and passengers in one direction, is the return of the aircraft to the point of departure without people on board. Nowadays, group shipping of goods from different senders is common. In this case, products are kept in stock and shipped as they accumulate.

Types of air freight

All types of air transportation are carried out according to the airport schedules, based on the flight permit. According to the type of flights, there are the following flights:

  • regularly
  • irregular
  • extra
  • special
  • chartered

All types of air transportation are governed by Armenian and international regulations and require customs clearance and payments and duties. If the airline violates the legislation in the field of air cargo transportation, it can be deprived of its license, and the transported cargo will be confiscated, which can only be returned by court order.

Fast shipping. Air cargo transportation is the only one among transport deliveries that can be carried out in the shortest possible time. This transportation is most relevant in the case of cargoes that need to be delivered to the destination even one day earlier for the customer.

Global reach. Airways provide almost direct access to all corners of the world, which makes it possible to transport cargo, particularly in remote and hard-to-reach places.

Credibility. Air transport can often provide a high level of consistency and a more reliable degree of adherence to shipment dates, as transport companies often have tight delivery deadlines from their customers.

In some cases, the cost of air freight can be high, especially for large quantities or heavy loads. It may be more expensive compared to other modes of transportation such as land or sea shipping.
