Can the package be sent by air? The package can be sent by air. Air transportation is a form of logistics, including cargo marks, identification plates, transportation marks, and cargo labels. The contents mainly include the identification and number of goods, number of packages, station name, and consignee name. The handwriting should be clear and not easy to erase, ensuring that it does not fall off during multiple relocations.
1、 International air transport is more selective
There are many airlines, and most countries have at least one airline (usually a national airline). The United States, China, Russia and other major aviation countries. They all have dozens of larger airlines. Although there may not be many options for an airport or a destination port, overall, there are a wide range of options for international air transport. After all, there are many suppliers (every airline is a supplier).
There are relatively few suppliers of international express delivery. We often go to the four major international express companies: FedEx, Ups, DHL and TNT, and China Post EMS. There are few international express delivery suppliers and there is little choice.
2、 Low damage rate, good ground safety
Due to the relatively high price of air cargo, the operational process is more rigorous than other transportation methods. The damage has been greatly reduced. After cargo is loaded onto an aircraft, it is very difficult to cause damage to air cargo, resulting in a low rate of cargo damage, and good transportation safety for the entire cargo.
This characteristic makes some goods unsuitable for air transportation, such as mechanical equipment and equipment with large volume and weight. However, some of these goods are particularly afraid of collision damage, so this restriction results in they can only be transported by air, reducing the probability of damage.
3、 International air transport operations also have advantages
In fact, many of the transportation of international express is also done by regional airlines, because international express has its own aircraft and limited coverage, while air transportation is directly undertaken by regional airlines, optimizing intermediate operations, reducing the loss of goods in circulation, and efficiently and quickly reaching customers.
4、 It can save relevant costs for production enterprises
Due to the speed of air transportation, it can speed up the circulation of production enterprises' products, thereby saving product storage costs, insurance premiums, and interest expenses. On the other hand, the cycle speed of products is accelerated. Improving the capital turnover rate can greatly improve the utilization rate of funds.
5、 International air transportation has more obvious advantages than sea transportation
1. Air transportation has strong timeliness and short transportation cycle (generally 1 day to 1 week). Poor timeliness of shipment and long transportation cycle (generally ranging from 1 week to 2 months);
2. Short air transportation cycle and fast capital turnover; But shipping takes a long time, each time for a month or even longer;
3. Air freight has strong flexibility in sales, helping to seize rapidly changing business opportunities and reduce inventory risk. It is easy to delay sales opportunities due to shipment, increasing the risk of unsalable sales.
6、 Fast delivery
As the transportation tool used in air cargo is aircraft, the flight speed of aircraft is about 600 to 800 kilometers per hour, which is much faster than other vehicles. The train speed is about 100 per hour. From a few kilometers to 140 kilometers, cars travel on highways ranging from 120 kilometers to 140 kilometers, and ship speeds are slower.
This feature of air cargo is suitable for the needs of certain special goods, such as fresh and perishable goods such as seafood and wild animals. Due to the nature of the goods themselves, this type of goods has particularly high time requirements and can only be transported by air.
A very important characteristic of international logistics is the differences in the logistics environment among countries, especially the differences in the logistics soft environment. Different logistics applicable laws in different countries make international logistics much more complex than domestic logistics in a country, and even block international logistics; Different levels of economic and technological development in different countries will result in international logistics being supported by different technological conditions, and even some regions are unable to apply certain technologies at all, forcing the overall level of international logistics to decline; Different standards in different countries will make it difficult for international logistics systems to establish a unified standard; The national conditions and characteristics of different countries inevitably limit international logistics.
