Q & A

What is the main advantage of air transportation in logistics?

The main advantage of air transportation is speed. Airplanes can travel at speeds of up to 900 kilometers per hour, making them ideal for transporting time-sensitive goods.

Why is air freight considered the most expensive mode of transportation?

Air freight is the most expensive because it is faster and requires more specialized infrastructure. Additionally, air transport is typically used for high-value or urgent items, which drives up costs.

What types of products are typically transported by air?

Air transportation is commonly used for small, high-value, or time-sensitive products such as electronics, documents, perishable goods, and even live animals like pets.

How does air cargo differ from passenger air travel?

While passenger travel involves individuals boarding planes to reach their destination, air cargo requires additional logistics such as road transport to collect goods, which are then transported via air and delivered by road for the final leg of the journey.

What percentage of the total cargo transported within Brazil is via air transport?

According to the National Land Transport Agency (ANTT), only 0.4% of all cargo in Brazil is transported by air.

What is the role of the Guarulhos and Viracopos airports in Brazil's air cargo system?

These airports are the primary hubs for international cargo entering Brazil, accounting for 98% of all imported goods, particularly from regions like China and Europe.

Why is the Petrolina airport in Pernambuco significant for air transportation?

The Petrolina airport plays a crucial role in exporting perishable goods like fruits (e.g., mangoes, papayas) and vegetables to international markets such as Europe and Asia, using air transportation for faster delivery.

How does the transport of vaccines rely on air freight?

Air transport is used for vaccine delivery because of its speed and efficiency. Vaccines are sensitive to temperature and time, making air transport ideal for ensuring they reach their destination quickly and safely.

What are the advantages of using large cargo planes like the Boeing 747-8F for air freight?

Large cargo planes like the Boeing 747-8F offer massive cargo space, with a capacity of 448 tons of cargo. This allows for efficient transport of large volumes of goods, improving speed and reducing the number of flights needed.

What is the difference between Master AWB and House AWB in air cargo documentation?

The Master AWB is a consolidated air waybill used by the airline to manage multiple shipments, while the House AWB refers to individual air waybills that detail specific shipments under the Master AWB, commonly used by freight forwarders.
