On-time ultra-high efficiency has won a considerable market, greatly shortened the delivery time, for the logistics supply chain to speed up capital turnover and circulation has played a great role in promoting action.

The structure of air freight costs is composed
There are a lot of people doing air freight, do you know how the airline air freight price is calculated? A brief introduction, I hope to help you.
Air freight price composition:
1. Airfreight freight (charged by airline)
2. Fuel sur charge fuel surcharge (depending on the airport, the destination price is different, Hong Kong is now generally the first 4 pieces or so, previously 3.6, last year's highest 4.8, the price is adjusted by the airport, generally 2 pieces to Asia)
3. Security fee (Hong Kong charges 1 block/kg fixed fee)
4. Airport operating fee (Hong Kong for HKD283/ticket, airport is responsible for carrying goods on board aircraft, etc.)
5. Terminal fee: 1.72/kg When the goods are handed over to the dealer, the dealer is responsible for playing board and other things, and finally handed over to the airport to charge)
6. Air master bill of charge: HKD15/bl is the cost of the bill of lading--- proof of property rights.
The above introduction for a number of airlines accounting for the composition of costs, mainly Hong Kong airport. Because Hong Kong is a super free trade port and Hong Kong Airport is the largest airport in the world, with few restrictions, a wide range and more cargo aircraft, there are 78 airlines. There are more than 100 flights per day, which can be preferred in the case of guaranteed class and service. But the cost is generally about 2 blocks higher than the domestic Oh!
