What are the factors that affect the price of international air freight.
Aug 10,2023
The advantage of international air transportation is that it is fast and time-sensitive, and it is suitable for international logistics transportation with time and speed requirements. It can shorten the delivery time and provide customers with fast, safe and timely service. However, the cost of international air freight is relatively high. The following are the factors that affect the price of international air freight:
1. Category of goods: Whether the goods are sensitive will affect the freight. There are fewer transportation channels for sensitive goods, and the requirements for transportation safety are higher, so the freight rate is higher. In addition, the volume and weight of the cargo will also affect the price, because they will affect the aircraft type and load capacity. Different models have restrictions on the weight of the goods.
2. Packing method: Some goods require additional packaging, such as wooden boxes or pallets, which will have an impact on the price of international air freight.
3. Transportation distance: The distance of transportation will also affect the price. Similar to express delivery, the price of long-distance transportation is usually higher, and sometimes there is an additional remote fee. On the contrary, the closer transport distance international air freight prices are cheaper.
4. Flight Selection: Different airlines charge different fees and have different pricing for large and small shipments. In addition, the arrival time of direct and connecting flights is different, and the direct and connecting flights of goods in the course of transportation will also have an impact on international air freight.
5. Fuel costs: The rise and fall of fuel costs will also affect the price of international air transport. Changes in fuel costs can be followed by relevant information.
6. Location of goods: Holidays also have an impact on international air freight prices. During the holidays, goods are concentrated and international air transport capacity is tight, and prices usually rise.
International situation: Changes in the international situation will affect flights, causing freight rates to rise or fall. For example, when problems such as epidemics and regional conflicts are serious, flights are reduced or even suspended and international air transport prices rise; when the opposite is true, international air transport prices fall.
