Air Freight costs: How rates are calculated.
-
Air freight pricing is typically based on chargeable weight, which compares your shipment’s actual weight (scale weight) against its volumetric weight (space the cargo takes on the aircraft). Carriers bill whichever is higher, because air capacity is constrained by both weight and volume.
Chargeable weight = max(actual weight, volumetric weight)
In addition to the base line-haul, air freight quotes commonly include standard add-ons such as fuel, security, and handling charges. (The exact mix depends on the lane and service level.)
