Air transport of goods is key in today’s world where home deliveries are part of many consumers’ everyday lives. In fact, the rise of e-commerce continues to underpin air logistics as one of the great solutions for the supply chain. At Stock Logistic, an integrated logistics operator, we have an air transport service to and from anywhere in the world.

When it comes to sensitive or immediate cargo, air transport facilitates the movement, as it is the fastest, most efficient and immediate means of delivering fragile, dangerous or urgent cargo.

Why choose air transport?

On particularly significant dates such as Black Friday or Christmas, days par excellence with the highest volume of orders, air transport is a great alternative to meet demanding delivery deadlines.

Speed

The most important benefit of air transport of goods is the reduction of delivery times. In the field of international trade, the transport of goods by air has made it possible to send and receive goods quickly between different countries. This makes it the ideal means to power and supply the entire foreign market.

Agility and accessibility

As a general rule, the procedures for shipping goods are a complicated and costly task, but by air they are more agile because new technologies have been incorporated to facilitate the different procedures.

In addition, air transport of goods makes it possible to connect areas that are not easily accessible by sea or road, for sending and receiving goods, as there are almost no physical barriers that prevent them from flying. Thanks to its wide network and coverage, this type of transport allows goods to be sent practically anywhere in the world.

Seguridad 

The transport of goods by air, given its characteristics, has a very low percentage of losses or breakages of the cargo. It is a reliable and safe method of transport, where the goods arrive at their destination in perfect condition with total guarantee.

Air transport, the shipping lines’ latest gamble

In recent years, the world’s leading shipping lines have opted for new business niches in search of opportunities beyond the maritime sector. Their latest venture: entering the air transport market by acquiring or commissioning their own fleet of aircraft. This is what is known as a vertical integration process, that is, presence in all links of the logistics chain to offer door-to-door services.

This trend is growing due to the boom in air transport of goods and the desire of shipping lines to expand beyond their vessels to become global integrated logistics providers. A trend that is beneficial for intermodality in freight transport and efficiency in the logistics market as a whole.
