Air transport is fast and safe. The punctual ultra-high efficiency has won a considerable market, greatly shortening the delivery time, and has greatly promoted the capital turnover and circulation of the logistics supply chain. The major airlines have successively invested a large number of flights to collect the cake. However, air transportation has a higher cost relative to sea freight, and the time requirement is high. The sea-air transportation cost ratio is about 1:10.
Air Shipping Eight elements of price:
1. Name of the product (whether dangerous)
2. Weight (involving charges), volume (size and size)
3. Packaging (whether wooden box, with or without tray)
4. Destination airport (whether basic)
5. Request time (straight or not)
6.Required flights (various flight services and price differences)
7. Bill of Lading (Main and Sub-Order)
8.Required transportation services (declaration method, agent documents, customs clearance, etc.)
Air transport is divided into heavy goods and foam. 1CBM=167KG Compared with the actual weight, which is the maximum weight.
Air freight structure
There are many people who do air transportation. Do you know how the airline air freight rate is calculated? Briefly introduce, I hope to help everyone.
Air freight price composition:
1.Airfreight shipping (airline charge)
2.Fuel sur charge Fuel surcharge (according to the airport, the price of the destination point is different, Hong Kong is now generally the first 4 or so, the previous 3.6, the highest last year 4.8, the price is adjusted by the airport, generally go to Asia is 2 )
3. Security inspection fee (Hong Kong receives 1 piece / kg fixed fee)
4.Airport operation fee (Hong Kong is HKD283/ticket, airport is responsible for shipping on board, etc.)
5. Terminal fee: 1.72/kg When the goods are delivered to the dealer, the dealer is responsible for playing the board and other things, and finally handed over to the airport.)
6. Aviation master bill: HKD15/bl is the cost of bill of lading---property certificate.
The above is the composition of accounting fees for a large number of airlines, mainly Hong Kong airports. Because Hong Kong is a large free trade port, and Hong Kong Airport is the world's largest airport, with fewer restrictions, a wider range, and more cargo planes, there are 78 airlines. There are more than 100 flights per day, which can be preferred in the case of guaranteed cabin and service. However, the cost is generally about 2 blocks higher than the domestic one!
