Airfreight and Cargo services in USA
When considering how ocean freight is shipped, the shipping
industry offers many different types of carriers, based on the type of
commodity and the clients’ shipping needs. If service provider is moving
automobiles, we could ship on RORO vessels. If moving oil, the vessel option
could be a tanker. Finally, if it is moving 40’DV or 40’HC, you could book
space on a containerized vessel. Like the ocean freight industry, air freight
can be moved with different carriers, depending on the customers’ needs or
commodity requirements
.
Different Types of Air Freight Carriers
Passenger Airlines: Passenger airlines are the
companies that you see when you book your vacation flights. Some Airline
companies, though they exist to move people, will often offer for sale the
space in the belly compartment of the airplane which is typically where
passenger luggage is stowed. Passenger airlines have many weight and space
limitations for the cargo they will accept, but they can be a convenient option
due to the number of frequent flights to destinations.
All-Cargo Carriers: As the name connotes, these
carriers move air cargo and offer freight services, but do not offer passenger
services. All-cargo carriers have less weight and dimension limitations due to
the wide-body and containerized cargo aircrafts in their fleet which leave
plenty of room for larger, heavier items, such as aerospace and automotive
parts and materials. This category also includes heavy-lift cargo freighters
designed for project cargo. Since heavy-lift freighters are uncommon, their
charter services are highly specialized and rarely operate on a scheduled
basis.
Integrated Express Carriers: These carriers will move
your cargo from one-point to another. They will pick-up your shipment from
origin via truck, fly it to its destination terminal, then deliver it to the
destination via truck. These types of carriers rely heavily on their air cargo
hubs, where they will unload the cargo, sort it by destination, and load it
onto the appropriate outbound aircraft – all through the use of automated
sorting. This process allows for quick turnaround times and extensive delivery
capabilities.
