Flight Transportation

Flight is the designated period of sail, the fixed route, will be sending station, will be the port of destination, will be passing through station aircraft. Mixed passenger and cargo airlines generally use aircraft (Combination Carrier). On the one hand carrying passengers, on the one hand a small amount of goods they transport. But some larger airlines on some routes, and opened up regular cargo flights, the use of all-cargo aircraft (All Cargo Carrier) transport.

Flight characteristics of the transport:

1, flight due to the fixed route, fixed and regular port of call open flight, so the international flow of goods more use of the flight mode of transport, can be safely and quickly reach the world, all-pass space locations.

2, to facilitate the income, the sender can accurately grasp upon shipment and arrival time, this much-needed commodity on the market, fresh perishable goods and the delivery of precious commodities is very beneficial.

3, flight passenger and cargo transport is generally mixed set, therefore, space is limited, can not make large quantities of goods shipped in time, often in batches transport. This is the flight transportation deficiencies.

Charter transport

Charter transportation (Chartered Carrier) chartered the whole modes of transport can be divided into two types of charter flights and some charter flights.

1, the entire charter

(1), or charter the whole aircraft, means the airlines lease aircraft in accordance with the prior agreement of the conditions and fees will be leased to charter the whole plane of people from one or a few air shipments to the destination port.

(2) The charter flights are generally one month prior to shipment with the airline in order to airlines to take off and land transport and to the airport and the relevant government departments for processing cross-boundary or entry procedures.

(3) the cost of charter flights: one a discussion, with the changes in the international market supply and demand situation. In principle, chartered freight, is based on a fixed rate per flight km of nuclear charges, according to the flight miles per charge 80% of the cost of air release fee. Therefore, the use of charter flights, when large quantities of goods are to strive to return all cargo, so that relatively low cost. Use only one-way, relatively high freight rates.

2, part of the charter

(1) from several air freight companies and shippers jointly chartered a plane, or by the airlines to a class of aircraft were sold to several air freight companies loading of goods. Is part of the charter. Used in less than an entire aircraft cabin checked imitation. But the volume also heavier cargo.

(2) of the charter flights comparison with the

① longer than a long flight, although some charter flights have a fixed schedule, often because of other reasons to take off on time;

② Governments, often in order to protect the interests of the national airline charter business engaged in the implementation of various restrictions on foreign airlines. Such as the relatively narrow scope of activities of the charter flight and landing sites is restricted. Be non-designated landing site other than the location, be sure to apply to the local government authorities and agreed to only after landing (for example, to apply for entry through the airspace and the landing site).

(3) the advantages of charter flights

① to solve the problem of insufficient flight position.

② All the goods shipped by the charter, to save time and multiple delivery procedures.

③ no direct flights make up less than, and do not transfer.

④ reduced cargo damage, cargo poor or missing phenomenon.

⑤ In the peak season for air flights to ease tensions.

③ solution seafood, the transport of live animals.



Focus on Consignment (Consolidation)

1, the concept of centralized shipment

Number of tickets will be shipped separately, and sent to the goods in the same direction together as a ticket goods, fill in a consignment shipped to the same total arrival approach.

2, focus on specific practices shipment

(1) the development of each vote cargo air transportation Waybill, that is issued by the freight forwarding of the consignment note HAWB (House Airway Bill).

(2) to distinguish the direction of all goods, according to the same destination the same country, same city to focus, and work out the total airline waybill MAWB (Master Airway Bill). The total consignment of air cargo shipper and consignee are the agents.

(3) The play of the total freight transported under the list of individual (Manifest), that this general there are several points waybill waybills and the number of what is, in which the number, weight, how much more each.

(4) to the total single-and freight transport as a whole votes in the list of goods to the airline. A total visual cargo waybill Waybill specific conditions attached (can also be a sub-delivered orders, it can be more than AWB). Such as: a MAWB within 10 HAWB, to illustrate the total 10 votes within the consignment goods, distributed to 10 different consignees.

(5) the goods arrive at the airport of destination stations, the local freight forwarding company as the total consignment, the consignee is responsible for receiving, distribution, according to different sub-delivered a single to set their own declarations, and on behalf of, according to customs, the consignee for the actual processing matters relating to pick-off goods. Shippers to handle the pick-up delivery issues.

(6) the actual consignee Waybill on the sign after the destination station freight forwarding companies as a way to ship freight agent feedback information on arrivals.

3, centralized shipping restrictions

(1) to focus only suitable for handling general cargo consignments for the cargo tariff levels, such as: valuables, dangerous goods, live animals, as well as artifacts, which can not handle concentrated checked.

(2) the same or a nearby destination can handle, such as a particular country or region, while others should not be handled. For example: the goods can not be made in Japan to Europe.

4, focused on the characteristics of consignment

(1) save shipping costs: air cargo freight shipping company's focus is generally lower than the Air Transport Association's tariff. Shippers receive less than the aircraft in the airline tariff, thus saving costs.

(2) to provide convenient: the goods to focus on shipping, airlines can reach the goods arrive at locations outside the extension of the airline's services to facilitate the owner.

(3) Early settlement: the shipper will deliver the goods with the air cargo on behalf of the agent, you can obtain goods Waybill can be stakeholders consignment to the bank settlement as early as possible.

Focused on consignment has been generally carried out in the world to form a more perfect and effective service system for the promotion of international trade development and international scientific and cultural exchanges have played a good role. Become the focus of China's import and export of consignments of goods, one of the main mode of transport.
