AIR FREIGHT SERVICES
➢ International air cargo is heavily regulated. As such, many opt for a freight forwarder who works exclusively with air shipments.
➢ An international air freight forwarder can help you navigate through all key freight documents, insurance, customs, air freight logistics, and any turbulence you encounter along the way.
AIR FREIGHT LOGISTICS
➢ An international air freight forwarder can also ensure that your goods are packed to fit the non-traditional shape of an aircraft and effectively optimize the space you pay for.
➢ Air shipments are faster and more reliable than ocean shipments. As counterintuitive as it might seem, they can also be cheaper.
➢ How is that possible?
➢ The way prices are calculated for ocean and air shipments are fundamentally different. The cost of sending cargo on a ship is generally calculated by its volume. Conversely, the cost of sending cargo by air is generally calculated by its weight.
➢ Additionally, ocean shipments commonly have minimum weights and measurements that must be met.
➢ As such, large and heavy shipments are almost always cheaper to send by ocean, but smaller and lighter shipments can actually be cheaper to send by air.
➢ The trick is to figure out whether your freight meets that happy medium.
AIR FREIGHT TRANSPORTATION AND PROCESS
CALCULATE AIR FREIGHT RATES➢ There is no off-the-shelf solution to freight and, as such,
determining the cost of a freight forwarder is not simple.
➢ That’s because there are literally dozens of variables that go into calculating the cost of a freight forwarding service. Some forwarders include certain costs upfront, while others offer them as an option.
➢ Others yet may not offer specific services at all.
➢ That’s why it is important to ask the right questions.
➢ Rather than asking what a forwarder charges, inquire about what you are getting as part of your freight quote.
➢ The cost of shipping goods by air is comparatively high, which is why, for the majority of international shipping scenarios, it is not as popular as ocean freight.
➢ However, there are some situations in which the price difference can be negligible, like when you only move small shipments of goods.
➢ That’s because port and customs fees for imports via sea can mount up quickly, offsetting the cost savings of a slower and less secure transportation mode.
➢ In these types of circumstance, you might find that booking a deferred air cargo shipment will cost little more than ocean freight, while still being a lot faster.
ARE AIR FREIGHT RATES ALWAYS MORE EXPENSIVE THAN OCEAN
FREIGHT?
➢ Air cargo is especially suitable for low-volume, high-value shipments because the total time between the dispatch of your goods and their receipt by the consignee is minimized, creating fewer opportunities for security to be compromised.
➢ Similarly, the less time your shipment spends in transit, the lower the risk of damage, so air transportation is ideal for fragile or perishable, goods.
IS AIR SHIPPING SECURE AND RELIABLE?
➢ Of course, speed is the primary advantage of shipping by air, along with flexibility, because passenger aircraft, as well as dedicated freighters, can carry your shipments.
➢ Therefore, when it’s essential to get your products or materials from one country to another in double-quick time, there’s no better way to send them than as air cargo.
➢ Be aware though, that international air freight is not as fast as domestic cargo aviation, because your goods are likely to spend at least a day or two undergoing customs processing at the airport of loading, as well as the airport of discharge.
➢ If you’d like to get some idea of typical transit times, you’ll find lots of details on https://www.fasterfreight.com/
WHAT IS THE IMPACT OF AIR FREIGHT SHIPPING ON TRANSIT TIMES?
Air quotes typically comprise many lines as Follows:
➢ Base freight rate: Charged according to the actual or volumetric weight of your goods.
➢ Fuel surcharge: Typically imposed to protect the carrier against fluctuating fuel costs.
➢ Security fee: The costs of security screening are passed on to shippers by the air carriers.
➢ Customs clearance fees: These will appear on your quote if you choose door-to-door shipping.
➢ Cargo insurance fees: These are the charges you will need to pay to cover your freight against risk while it is in transit.
➢ Trucking fees: If you choose door-to-door, door-to-port, or port-to-door shipping, your quote will include the cost of road transportation.
➢ Container freight station fee: This fee is for any temporary storage of your air freight container at the airport of loading and/or airport of discharge.
WHAT’S IN AN INTERNATIONAL AIR FREIGHT SHIPPING QUOTE?
Given the high cost of shipping goods by air, it makes sense to takeany measures possible to keep fees to a minimum. Here are threequick tips for cost-effective air transportation:
➢ Choose air freight door to door shipping with Faster Freight. We will search for the most cost-efficient combination of transportation services, not only reducing the landed cost of your shipment, but also saving you the administrative costs of finding domestic carriers and comparing their quotes.
➢ Package your goods as compactly as possible. Every centimeter you add to the dimensions of your cargo will increase the base rate if your carrier charges by volumetric weight.
➢ Take advantage of the Faster Freight compliance engine to ensure all your shipping documents are completed accurately and in full, reducing the risk of delays and demurrage charges.
HOW TO OPTIMIZE YOUR AIR FREIGHT SHIPPING COSTS?
➢ The main differentiator for Faster Freight is our digital-first approach to freight forwarding. Although the use of technology for air cargo management is on the rise, most forwarders apply it on a limited basis, reluctant to break away from the methodical, but inefficient manual processes used for decades.
➢ At Faster Freight, we set out to create a digital product, not with the primary aim of internal efficiencies but to help our customers, especially SMEs, to access similar service levels to those enjoyed by larger-scale beneficial cargo owners.
➢ That’s why, when you use our platform, you will find that booking your freight onto a flight is a simple, straightforward process, as close as it gets to booking flights for yourself. Of course, it is a little more involved, but you do have the convenience of a single platform with self-service quotation requests, bookings, payment, air cargo tracking, automated compliance processes and the help of human logistics experts as and when you need it.
HOW DOES FASTER FREIGHT DIFFER FROM OTHER AIR FREIGHT
FORWARDERS?
➢ We are a technology-oriented company, not a technology company. Faster Freight is a subsidiary of Agility Logistics, with a mission to simplify international shipping by way of digital innovation.
➢ We have Agility’s entire global logistics network at our disposal, so you can be confident that every quote we issue is competitive and that every shipment is managed by a networked force of consummate logistics experts, using a long-established freight network trusted by some of the world’s largest supply chain organizations.
➢ In short, yes, you can be assured of reliable, as well as cost-effective air freight services from Faster Freight.
