What kind of cargo is shipped by airway? – More than one century and one decade ago the first cargo plane did its first flight. And the first load in the air was silk.
Now - in 21-th century we can hardly imagine cargo shipping without airways.
Speed, accessibility to different parts of the world, higher security guarantees: Here are some of the benefits of air shipping and they are valued by the clients of air shipping.
Medicines, vaccines, works of art, plants, animals, land vehicle spare parts: these and many other such goods are transported by cargo planes. Goods transported by cargo can be divided into 2 types: general և special cargo.
1. In order to be classified in the list of general cargoes, the cargo should correspond some of criteria, such as no special need, beginning from keeping in special temperature terms up to short expire date. It shouldn’t have non-standard dimensions, for example – not be too long. Clothing, various spare parts of computers (besides battery), books: these are some examples of general cargoes.
2. Special cargoes provides special terms of care. Cargo shipping companies require more money for special cargo shipping, than for general cargoes. We can separate special cargoes by following criteria:
· Cargoes requiring temperature control – the vegetables, fruits, medical packages require such conditions.
· Dangerous cargoes – for example explosives, radioactive materials, toxic or flammable materials. These kind of loads require special packaging, the tariffs of their transportation is mostly higher.
· Animals – Animals are also considered as special cargoes, and their transportation requires special conditions.
· Tissues, organs – this kind of special cargo requires special attention beginning from loading and unloading up to control of temperature conditions. The transportation is expensive.
