In the past we have tried to move some loads from USA to Dushanbe and we found that the options are very limited especially when it is about to move from airports different from New York and Los Angeles.
In our last blog we have discussed the elements of the freight quote. Today we will move forward. Assume the quote is accepted and load is tendered to the shipping agent. What happens next?
Airline Thomas Cook started operations at Airport Bourgas with wide-bodied planes – B767-300 and A330-200 which increased the opportunities for shipping goods as airfreight. The maximum dimensions in centimeters for one piece are 318/244/160 cm which compared with the mediocre 120/80/80 via airport Sofia is a huge improvement.
What is the difference between freight forwarder and a courier? I have been often asked that question. Well, from operational point of view the difference is tremendous but from customers point of view the difference is none. Why?
According to Andrew Traill, managing partner of Shippers’ Voice, 100% scanning of airfreight would not only harm international trade, it would also be ineffective.
