Advantages of Air Transport

Speed is the greatest advantage of air transportation. This is especially beneficial for small and medium-sized enterprises, allowing them to engage in international trade quickly and efficiently. Air transport is also highly secure due to strict cargo handling and management at airports.

Growth of Air and Sea Logistics

When combined with other transportation modes such as sea, rail, and road, air freight has become widely used in import and export logistics since the early 20th century. Over the past 40 years, with global trade networks expanding, the air freight industry has grown rapidly and is now regarded as an effective domestic and international transportation method.

What Is “Air Freight plus Delivery”?

“Air freight plus delivery” refers to a logistics service model in which goods are picked up at the origin and delivered directly to the final destination address. This is different from standard air freight services that only transport goods to the destination airport and handle customs clearance.

Air freight plus delivery (also called air parcel delivery or air freight and delivery) enables small buyers worldwide to participate actively in procurement from China without worrying about customs clearance or last-mile delivery procedures.

Disadvantages of Air Transport

1. Certain sensitive goods may be restricted or prohibited.  
2. Air freight is generally more expensive than sea freight.
