Air transportation
Logos Company offers customs clearance and international air transportation from anywhere on the globe to Russia and back. Air delivery cost is calculated according to a client’s preferable time frames and budget.
You can order only air transportation or complex multimodal delivery, with one of the stages being an air freighter.
Reasons to prefer international air transportation
The choice of transport depends on four factors: delivery time, cargo characteristics, special aspects of the route, and transportation budget. Logistics experts are the ones who make the choice based on technical and financial calculations.
Experts prefer air transportation in four cases.
- Prompt cargo delivery.
- Intercontinental transportation.
- Special requirements for cargo safety.
- Reduction of customs clearance costs (no transit clearance is required).
The disadvantages of international air transportation first of all include their cost. The second one is that they are directly dependant on weather conditions.
Cargo types suitable for being transported by air
Due to unprofitability of air transportation, it is mostly used for delivering small consignments: for example, mail, perishable goods, and high-tech equipment.
Consolidated cargo delivery is the best option for air transportation. One and the same air freighter carries cargoes from different clients, who divide the cost depending on the weight, size and special features of the transported goods.
AIR TRANSPORTATION IS A PART OF MULTIMODAL TRANSPORT CHAINS:
It is included into a routing plan and significantly accelerates cargo delivery. In most cases, multimodal transportation involving air transport is based on the following plan:
- Trucking or railway delivery of the goods to an airport.
- Loading to an air freighter.
- Air delivery to the destination country.
- Trucking or railway delivery to the place of destination.
The most difficult part is to deliver cargo to an airport, as there may be none of them in some populated localities of a country.
