First, go straight (MASTER AIR WAR BILL FLIGHT)
Shipped directly from the station to the final destination using the airline master bill of lading (MAWB).
Such as: Hong Kong - Frankfurt, no need to transfer the voyage: or fly from Hong Kong to Bangkok, Tokyo, Kuala Lumpur .... and other airports, then connect another flight or even another airline voyage to the terminal airport, during the transfer connection It is arranged entirely by the airline (MASTER AIR WAY BILL ISSUING LINER). Such as: German Airlines, Air France, Singapore Airlines, Polish Airlines ... and so on.
It may not be that the operator is self-employed and entrusts other joint ventures that have landed at the airport to carry it to a certain point, and then transfer to the airline ticket to which the original bill of lading belongs to continue to transport until the terminal airport. For example, Hungarian Airlines does not have a flight to Taipei, but its general agent (GENERAL SERVICE AGENT/GSA) is responsible for contracting business and issuing bills of lading, and the goods are delivered to Cathay Pacific, China and other flights to Amsterdam or Frankfurt Airport. Hungarian Airlines' own flight to the mother station Budapest machine is often because the main bill of lading goods, so can not do assembly or transfer operations, more than just ONE COVER ONE / ONE MASTER BILL COVERING ONE HOUSE WAY BILL only! Therefore, many buyers have previously indicated that CARRIER'S WAY BILL is afraid of being assembled or transported by freight forwarder.
In addition to the lower bargaining cost of the bill of lading, the big advantage is that it can directly pressure the airlines in the local office to ask for a true voyage to facilitate the early delivery of the goods to their destination.
Second, transit (TRANSHIPMENT)
From the starting station, the goods are first delivered to a foreign station via a freight forwarding company, such as Bangkok, Singapore and other airports, and then transported by the air freight agent of the place to the appropriate flight for transshipment to the final destination.
The operation is more complicated, but the demand for transshipment operations, in addition to the measurement of economic benefits, does have quite a number of airports that cannot be connected, especially when the former Iron Curtain countries or those who have left the local area and are not directly reach can carry them. It is impossible to rely on the transfer and connection work. It is only in this case that the operation process is completely dependent on the space determined by the starting freight forwarder enterprise and the urgent tracking in the transfer.
All of these depend on the airline model, the carrying capacity, and the in-depth understanding of the airport connected to the airport, as well as the cooperation attitude and efficiency of the foreign agents.
If you have the above capabilities, then you can choose to use the direct-flying airlines with more exporters and more carrying capacity.
Three: assembly (CONSOLIDATION/GROUPTRANSPORT)
Airlines have different cost structures, in addition to the basic freight classification according to IATA (International Freight Association): MINIMUM-45KG, +45KG, but also can decide according to their own acceptable but according to each time into the warehouse (to each The lower required weight of the single MASTERAIRWAYBILL is the price of the unit, which is +100KG, +500KG, +1000KG or more, giving the freight forwarding company different preferential discount rates, so in the case of conditions, small goods and large goods assembly At the time, if the 45KG goods are combined in the MAWB list of +100KG, the freight forwarding company can enjoy the preferential rate of +100KG or more for the freight paid by the airline, and the freight forwarding company will share the difference with the customer. So exporters can have considerable savings in shipping costs.
Four: charter (CHARTER)
The shipper needs to occupy the cargo hold of the aircraft separately within a certain period of time according to the goods consigned, and the carrier needs to take special measures to guarantee the form of transportation.
The charter transportation mode can be divided into two types: the whole charter and part of the charter.
(1) Whole charter
This refers to the way in which an airline or charter agency, in accordance with the conditions and rates previously agreed with the charterer, leases the entire aircraft to the charterer and transfers the goods from one or several air stations to the designated destination. It is suitable for bulk cargo and transportation.
(2) Partial charter
There are two ways for some charter flights. One is that several air freight forwarding companies or consignors jointly charter the entire aircraft, and the other is that the charter company sublease the entire aircraft class to several air freight forwarding companies. .
