Types of Air Cargo
There are two types of air cargo – general and special cargo.
General cargo includes high-value goods, such as electronics, jewelry, and pharmaceuticals. Air shipping is more expensive than shipping by sea, but due to the high margins and the fact that many electronic goods are fragile, air freight is the most appropriate form of transport.
Special cargo requires special conditions for transporting goods, such as temperature control, certain air conditions, or protected casing (e.g. if the goods are hazardous or livestock).
