What are the advantages and disadvantages of air freight？

Advantages of Air Transport

1. Good safety. Due to the relatively high price of air cargo, the operation process is much stricter than other modes of transportation, and the probability of accidents on aircraft is far lower than that of ground transportation.

2. The damage rate of air transport is low. After the goods are loaded on the plane, it is difficult to cause damage to the goods in the air. Therefore, the damage rate of the goods is very low in the whole process of cargo transportation.

3. Air transportation has high timeliness and fast transportation speed. Since the means of transportation used in air cargo is airplane, the flight speed of airplane is much faster than other means of transportation.

4. Air transportation is not affected by ground conditions, and the space span is large, and it goes deep into inland areas. Air transportation uses the natural channel of the sky and is not restricted by geographical conditions. Air transportation connects the local area with the world, and has a wide range of external radiation.

Disadvantages of air transport

The main disadvantage of the combination of air transport is that the cabin volume and cargo capacity of the aircraft are relatively small, and the carrying cost and freight rate are much higher than those of ground transport. Due to the certain restrictions of weather conditions, the flight will affect its punctuality.

However, although the freight of air transport is relatively high, considering the total cost, air transport is economical and convenient, and with the integration, upgrading and informationization of the world economy, the role of air transport is increasing day by day.
