Sending cargo by plane guarantees delivery in the shortest possible time.
However, in order for all the mandatory procedures to pass quickly and inexpensively, and the cargo was delivered safe and sound, a number of nuances must be taken into account.

What goods can be transported by plane

The company that will carry out the transportation of cargo by air is first of all interested in the type of cargo, its weight and dimensions. Delivery of goods by air has a number of restrictions on the nature of the cargo, weight and volume. So, there are prohibited and dangerous goods that cannot be transported by plane.

Cargo planes can transport groupage cargo, restricted cargo, oversized, personal belongings and documents, heavy (over 80 kg) and bulky cargo. Most often I send urgent (perishable) and especially valuable goods by airliner. Perishable goods are those that can deteriorate due to adverse environmental conditions. These include products of animal and plant origin, medicines, human organs, etc.
Particularly valuable include museum exhibits and art objects, live animals, diplomatic cargo and more.

The aircraft is capable of delivering such a cargo from point A to point B in 1-2 days. In some cases, air delivery is the only shipping option.

Packing cargo for air transportation

The requirements of air carriers for the packaging of cargo are quite stringent. This is due to the safety rules on board and is necessary for the safety of the cargo. Indeed, in an airplane, the load is affected by temperature differences, vibrations, and pressure changes. All these nuances must be taken into account when choosing packaging, loading and unloading.
Standard cargo is packed in containers and containers that protect against possible damage. The packaging should facilitate securing cargo in the hold of a passenger aircraft or in a cargo aircraft.

Cargo marking

On the container with the cargo, it is necessary to briefly indicate the type of cargo and its features, the data of the recipient. So, not every product can be turned over, thrown. Labeling promotes gentle transport

Accompanying documents

Preparation of accompanying documents is the most important stage that requires professional knowledge in the field of logistics. Correctly drawn up documents guarantee that the goods will be delivered without delay.
Below is an approximate list of documents, for each cargo it will be different.

• Preparation by a customs broker of import and export documents, declarations, invoices;
• Registration of a permit for the carriage of dangerous goods by air;
• Drawing up a safety data sheet for dangerous goods
• Invoice or invoice
• Packing list
• Cargo waybill and manifest
• For goods subject to certification, a certificate is required.

Using the services of an experienced carrier, you can get a turnkey service, which includes preparation of cargo for shipment, paperwork, and control of transportation. Thus, you save your time and do not have to worry about the safety of the cargo – after all, it is escorted at all stages of transportation.
