Cargolink is the shipment of goods via a chartered or scheduled air carrier. Air economy is a popular choice for many companies as it ensures passage for their goods to anywhere in the world that an aircraft can fly to and land. Goods transported by air have the advantage of being taken to their final destination at high speed which could prove advantageous if the shipment is time-sensitive. For smaller and medium-sized companies, it allows them to participate in international trade in as an effective manner as larger companies.
Furthermore, shipments that are transported via air carrier go through a higher level of security than other methods which makes it one of the most secure ways to transport goods.
There are a few choices when it comes to organising an air economy delivery:
Consolidated Freight – Where one flight contains many shipments.
Back to back or Direct Services – Where a flight contains one single shipment.v
Charter Services – Where an entire freight plane is chartered for a single air freight delivery.
These shipments will either be placed into the hold of a regular passenger jet or in a dedicated freight aircraft, which can hold huge amounts of cargo on one flight.
