Packing and Handling for Air Cargo
Air cargo is handled quickly and more often than sea cargo, so packaging has to survive several transfers between the shipper, the airline and the consignee.
- Use export-grade cartons or crates, sealed and strapped, with weight spread evenly.
- Label every package with the consignee, destination and handling marks, and match them to the air waybill.
- Palletised cargo is faster to build into unit load devices than loose cartons.
- Temperature-sensitive and high-value cargo should be flagged at booking, not at the airport.
- Cargo insurance is optional but worth considering for high-value consignments.
Photograph the packed cargo before handover so condition can be confirmed if a claim ever arises.
Air Freight Booking, Chargeable Weight and Documentation
Air freight is priced on chargeable weight, which is the greater of the actual weight and the volumetric weight of the packed cargo. Light but bulky cargo can therefore cost more than its scale weight suggests, and packaging choices matter.
- Volumetric weight is calculated from the packed dimensions, commonly at 167 kg per cubic metre under the IATA convention.
- The air waybill is issued against the booking and carries the consignee, routing and cargo description.
- Dangerous goods and batteries need declarations and approved packing before an airline will accept them.
- Airline acceptance cut-offs apply, so cargo must reach the airport cargo terminal ahead of the flight.
- Airport-to-airport and door-to-door options are priced differently, so state which you need.
Send final packed dimensions and weights when you request a quote, because estimates change the chargeable weight.
Air Freight vs Sea Freight: Which Is Right for Your Shipment?
Air freight is generally more suitable when speed is a priority, while sea freight can be more economical for large-volume or non-urgent shipments.
Air freight may be the better option when you are dealing with urgent replacements, production requirements, short-shelf-life products, temperature-sensitive goods, important samples or strict delivery deadlines.
If your shipment is large, heavy and not time-sensitive, sea freight may provide a more cost-effective solution.
ASC can assess your shipment and help you choose the transportation mode that best matches your delivery requirements and budget.
