1. Charter transportation

Charter transport refers to a mode of transport in which the lessee or company charters the aircraft of an airline for the purpose of achieving a certain purpose. When using a charter flight, ensure that the consignment does not contain any items prohibited or restricted by national law. In addition, the shipper should deliver the goods to the designated airport in advance and complete the export customs quarantine procedures by itself.

If you want to use a charter plane for transportation, you will need the charter person to provide valid identification documents and request the charter from the carrier. Charterers and carriers need to coordinate charter flights and sign charter contracts. For each cargo charter, it is necessary to fill in a corresponding air cargo manifest as the transport certificate of the charter.

2. Flight transportation

"Passenger aircraft transport" means a mode of transport with a fixed transport route and a fixed departure station and a transfer station. In general, passenger and cargo aircraft are used for air transport, on the one hand can carry passengers, on the other hand can transport a small amount of goods, in order to achieve maximum economic benefits.

The advantages of flight transport are obvious, because this mode of transport has a fixed transport route, a fixed number of trains and a fixed transport distance, so that the shipper and the consignee can clearly grasp the departure time and arrival time of the goods, and can ensure that the goods arrive at the destination quickly and accurately.

The advantages of flight transportation are also very significant, because the society mainly through the use of passenger and cargo dual-purpose aircraft, not only can carry China's cargo capacity is relatively small, and we can not carry large volume of goods, some more sensitive items, such as China's cosmetics, electric items, magnetic items, food enterprise data, can not be mailed abroad. There are great restrictions on transportation.

3. Package transportation

Charter transport refers to an agreement between the shipper and the airline that the shipper may maintain a fixed position of the aircraft for a certain period of time. On the other hand, the carrier needs to protect the shipper's warehouse space during this period. As with charter flights, personal identification is required to sign a contract with the carrier.

Compared with charter transportation, parcel transportation costs less and carries less risk. Moreover, parcel transportation can ensure the timeliness of its own goods to a certain extent, and enjoy the service of logistics forgetting to arrange warehouses. Disadvantages, just like charter transportation, if the cargo volume does not reach its own packaging space, or exceeds the packaging space, it will face loss and embarrassment.

4. Other modes of transportation

In addition to the three neutral modes of transport, namely air transport, charter transport and charter transport, there are three modes of transport, namely centralized consignment, air express and container transport. Here is a brief introduction.

Centralized shipping is a way for shippers to transport scattered, small batches of goods into one batch, a large number of goods. The advantage of this mode of transportation is that the bulk advantage of goods can be used to reduce transportation costs.

Air express transport, as the name suggests, is the enterprise transport for more urgent items. For example, through some basic medical devices, drawing design documents, etc. The advantages of this type of transportation management are mainly rapid aging, and the disadvantages are high freight rates.

Containerization means that goods are loaded into containers and then transported by air. The advantages of this mode of transport are high efficiency, easy loading and unloading, and fast turnover.
