On the characteristics of aviation logistics

The range of delivery varies

The receiving range of air logistics mainly includes documents and parcels. Documents mainly refer to commercial documents and various printed matter. For packages, the gross weight is generally required to be no more than 32kg (including 32kg) or one side of the outer package is no more than 102cm, and the sum of the three sides is no more than 175cm. In recent years, as competition in the air transport industry has become fiercer, Courier companies have relaxed requirements on parcel size in order to attract more customers. The traditional air cargo business is mainly trade goods, the size of each cargo shall not be less than 5*10*20 cm. The postal service, on the other hand, focuses on personal letters and requires packages weighing no more than 20 kilograms and no longer than 1 meter.

2. Different operators

International air logistics is mostly operated by multinational companies, these companies in the form of sole proprietorship or joint ventures in the world, the establishment of a global network. Air express delivery is basically done within multinational companies. International postal services, on the other hand, cooperate with the postal administrations of most countries in the world through the Universal Postal Union, in which mail is delivered through the cooperation of more than two national postal administrations. International air transport of goods mainly adopts the form of centralized consignment, or directly entrusted by the consignor air cargo agent, the goods arrive at the destination and then through the air cargo agent at the place of shipment to deliver the goods to the hands of the consignee. In addition to the airlines involved in the business, but also rely on the assistance of air freight agents.

3. Different forms of business organization

The traditional operating theory of postal transportation is relay transmission. Air logistics companies mostly use the central distribution theory or rotary distribution theory to organize the global network. Simply put, express companies set up distribution centers in central areas according to their actual business conditions. Express items collected from different regions are distributed according to the regions to which they are sent and loaded onto aircraft. That night, planes from all over the country flew to the distribution center to exchange express packages and fly back. The next morning, the express is delivered to the recipient's desk by car from local branches. This method seems unreasonable, but because the central allocation theory reduces the intermediate link, the express flow is simple and clear, reduces errors, improves the operation efficiency and shorens the delivery time, which has been proved to be economical and effective.
