Air cargo is generally based on special transport aircraft or civil aviation cabins to transport goods. Naturally, civil aviation generally prioritizes the luggage of tourists to load. If there is unnecessary indoor space, it will be used to transport goods. Air cargo is basically a more expensive means of transportation, but it is also faster, which can reduce the cycle time of several weeks to one or two days.
Air cargo has a low risk of damage to the goods, so there is no need to pack too much. However, due to the limitations of indoor space and load, there are certain restrictions on the specifications and net weight of the goods. The key cost of air cargo in international logistics comes from gasoline and diesel, flight and airport expenses.
Although the airport is built by government funding, the management and maintenance costs of the airport operating company are very expensive. This is why, when everyone buys air tickets, a very large part of the cost will be used to pay for airport construction and fuel costs.
Although the cost is high, aviation parts are still used to transport emergency, high-use-value, light-net-weight, high-use, perishable goods. In some special industries, aviation parts are used as a key means of transportation. Some industries will immediately pass on the cost of aviation parts to customers.

Very convenient rate, greatly reduced delivery time, low cost, reduced inventory turnover days (delivery time is reduced, inventory turnover days can be reduced), suitable for light net weight, high use value, and emergency goods without excessive packaging (goods destroyed Low risk)
Defects of air cargo
The price is relatively expensive. The specifications and net weight of the goods are limited. Expensive assets. Capital investment must have a suitable airport for landings and landings.
