Air Transportation

Assalamualaikum, today our group wanna share something about air transportation .Usually we use air transportation for international and also for domestic cargo movement.So ,there are some of the characteristic why we choose air cargo for transportation.

characteristics of air cargo transportation are:

1. Delivery speed

from the date of the birth of the aviation industry, air transport take the fast and famous. So far, the aircraft is still the most efficient means of transport, a common jet mostly in the economic cruise speed of 850 to 900 kilometers per hour. Fast transport significantly shortened the transit time of goods, for those prone to decay, deterioration of the fresh goods; timely, seasonal press, seasonal nature of goods; rescue, emergency goods transport, a feature that is particularly prominent. It can be said that the rapidly together with the global air transportation network-intensive it be possible to make and cannot, and we were eager to open up long-distance market of fresh goods, so that consumers enjoy more benefits.

Delivery speed, in-transit time is short, but also reduces the risk of goods in transit, so that many valuable items, precision instruments are often used in the form of air transport. Today's international market competition, rapid air transport services provided by the supplier can make foreign markets to respond to the changing of the market immediately, rapid introduction of marketable products to capture the market, to obtain better economic benefit.

2.  The ground conditions are not affected inland regions

air transport to use the sky of this natural channel, without geographical restrictions. For the harsh conditions on the ground inaccessible inland areas are very appropriate and beneficial to the export of local resources, promote local economic development.

Air transport so that local and world connected to external wide area, and air transport compared to road transport and rail transport occupation of land is limited to the Cuntucunjin, geographical small area development of external transport is undoubtedly a very appropriate.

3. Secure and accurate

with other modes of transport than the safety of air transport higher in 1997, the world's airlines carried 18 million flight sorties, only 11 cases of a serious accident, the risk rate is about 1/3000000. Air transport management system will also be more perfect low rate of damage of goods, if the use of air cargo transported in containers, then the more secure.

4. Save packaging, insurance, interest and other expenses

as a result of air mode of transport, goods in transit time is short, fast turnaround, business inventory can be a corresponding reduction. On the one hand beneficial to the recovery of funds and reduce interest expense, other companies can reduce storage costs. Also, because air cargo transport safety, accuracy, cargo damage, cargo less poor, and insurance costs are lower. Compared with other modes of transport, air transport packaging simple, packaging cost reduction. All these are the hidden costs of the decline in business, revenue increases.

Of course, air transport also has its own limitations, mainly in air cargo transportation costs higher than other modes of transport is not suitable for low-value goods; air vehicles - the limited capacity of the aircraft cabin, for large goods or large quantities of goods the transport of goods under certain restrictions; aircraft flight safety, and so are vulnerable to adverse climate impacts. However, generally speaking, with the new technology is more widely used, the product has become more thin, light, short, small, high-value, managers pay more attention to the timeliness of transportation, reliability, i believe there will be more air cargo great prospects for development.
