it is on the ground.

• Ground handling agencies encompass various services, including

baggage handling, catering, fueling, maintenance, and more.

• Efficient ground handling is crucial for quick turnaround times and

the overall success of air cargo operations.

2. Aircraft:

• Different types of aircraft are utilized for air cargo transport, ranging
from cargo planes to passenger planes with cargo holds.

• Considerations for choosing the right aircraft include cargo volume,

weight capacity, and the nature of the cargo being transported.

3. Advantages of Air Shipment:

• Speed: Air transport is the fastest mode of shipment, enabling quick

delivery.
 • Global Reach: Air cargo can reach virtually any destination,
connecting remote locations worldwide.

• Reliability: Air transport schedules are generally reliable,

minimizing delays.

4. Economics of Air Shipment:

• Cost Factors: While air shipment is fast, it can be more expensive

than other modes of transport.

• Time-sensitive Cargo: For time-sensitive and high-value goods, the

speed of air shipment justifies the higher costs.

5. Sensitive Cargo by Air Shipment:

• Perishable Goods: Air shipment is ideal for perishable items like

fresh produce and pharmaceuticals.

• High-Value Goods: Valuable items, such as electronics or luxury

goods, benefit from the security and speed of air transport.
