If you check in halfway by plane, you can check in according to your luggage, but the weight is limited and the cost is high, but you can pick it up with your luggage when the plane lands. If you don't fly, you need to go to the air cargo department. There is an agent in the terminal, but the cost is very high. You'd better go to the freight department yourself. If the weight is too heavy, don't check your luggage even by plane, because it's too expensive. You only need to go to the freight department two hours before the plane takes off. At that time, the goods will still be on the same plane as you, but it will take two hours to get the goods after the plane lands, because it is not checked by luggage.
Air express process
Domestic express delivery companies mostly use centralized consignment, that is, the goods are delivered to the agency, and the agency will handle consignment with the airlines to transport air goods. Its workflow can be divided into the following steps.
(1 After receiving the air express, the receiving outlets run to the distribution centers in their respective regions within the specified time.
(2) The origin distribution center sorts the goods corresponding to the destination and determines the total distribution volume and the number of outer packages corresponding to the airport.
(3) The distribution center at the place of origin reserves the shipping space with the air agent and delivers the air cargo to the air agent.
(4) The airline agent receives the booking data from the originating distribution center, and accordingly reserves the shipping space from the airline according to the requirements of the distribution center.
(5) After the airline approves the cabin, the airline agent shall hand in the airport master bill 3 hours before the departure of the corresponding flight and pass the security check 2 hours before the departure of the flight.
(6) The aviation agent will hand over the corresponding airport data to the originating distribution center, and the originating distribution center will send the corresponding data to the destination distribution center.
(7) After the goods arrive at the destination, they shall be temporarily received by the air agent.
(8) After receiving the forecast, the distribution center will send someone to pick up the goods within 2-3h after the plane lands.
(9) After receiving the goods, the consignee shall first check whether the goods information is consistent with the information sent by the originating distribution center, and report it immediately if there is any discrepancy.
(10 After the goods are checked correctly, they are sorted by the destination distribution center and then transported to various delivery points for delivery.
According to the different States of goods at the place of departure and the place of receipt, the whole workflow can be divided into two processes: departure and arrival.
I. Leaving Hong Kong
Departure refers to the registration of goods from the temporary warehouse at the place of departure to the destination. In this chapter, it refers to the process of goods from the origin distribution center to the destination distribution center.
In this process, the flow of goods is: receiving goods, sweeping revenue, sorting, assembling small parts, loading them out of the station, handing them over to airlines for transshipment and issuing forecasts.
1. Receive scan
(1 After receiving the air express, the receiving outlets run to the distribution centers in their respective regions within the specified time.
(2) The outbound liaison of the originating distribution center pays close attention to the cargo information forecast sent by the outlets in real time, makes statistics and forecasts of the cargo volume, and reserves the shipping space with the air agent according to the standard route plan.
(3) The originating distribution center receives the express mail delivered by outlets, and checks whether the weight, size and packaging of the express mail meet the requirements of air transportation and whether the express mail carries contraband. If unqualified express mail is found, it should be returned to the outlet for tally in time.
(4) Check whether the word "HK" is written on one side of the courier. If not, write it again.
(5) Scan the qualified express mail by person and station, and upload the number of scanned pieces to the system (including the large parcel data of parcel collection operation, which can be checked by the inbound dispatcher and the operator of the destination distribution center.
2. Classification and packaging
The infield operator of 1 will sort the unpacked express according to the destination network named as the target. When sorting, all documents and small pieces must be put in baskets.
(2) Pack small pieces and send them to the same destination. Prepare container bags in advance according to the specifications of airline containers, and indicate the destination name or code and blockade number on the corresponding container operation label.
(3) After scanning the label number of the container operation, start scanning the express mail belonging to the container bag one by one, and put the scanned express mail into the container bag, that is, container scanning. When the container is full, write down the number of containers on the container operation label.
(4) Tie the bag mouth and the container operation label tightly with the sealing device, and store the information just scanned in the scanning gun.
(5) Sorting the packaged and scanned express mail to the designated area, and preparing to load it and leave the station.
Step 3 get on the bus and leave the station
(1) Make a bus seal, and indicate the name of the bus destination on the seal.
(2) Scan the bar code of the car seal, and scan the large pieces and container packages one by one when they leave the port, and scan them one by one. Pay attention to handle with care when loading, and don't throw it away. Heavy goods, bulk goods and container bags should be placed near the carriage door.
(3) After all outbound express shipments are loaded, immediately clean up the job site and check whether there are any express shipments missing. After confirming that no express mail is lost, the shuttle bus driver locks the car, and the operator indicates the number of loaded pieces (that is, the total number of large pieces and container bags on the car) on the car seal, and then seals the car for shipment.
(4) The driver leaves the shuttle bus from the distribution center at the specified time, drives to the airport and delivers the goods to the aviation agent.
(5) After the vehicle is sent out, the scanner shall immediately upload the data of the scanning gun just used to the system.
4. Give it to an Air Force agent
(1 The departure liaison makes a distribution forecast according to the distribution information, and the distribution driver processes the distribution according to this forecast.
(2) The delivery driver shall go through the delivery formalities at the designated delivery place within the specified time, including handing over the basic freight information such as the total number of pieces and weight, determining the basic aviation information such as flight number and flight bill of lading number, and filling in the handover form in a standardized manner.
(3) The delivery driver shall supervise that the goods are properly collected by the air agent and obtain the delivery certificate of the destination station.
(4) The delivery driver must return to the origin distribution center within the specified time after delivery, and hand over all documents related to delivery to the departure liaison.
Release forecast
(1 The departure liaison officer inquires and confirms the frequency, date, departure or arrival time of the loaded flight, and confirms the delivery of the goods.
The practical problem of the matter.
(2) If the flight is abnormal, it should be delivered in time through the agent. If there is a flight to pull the cabin, start the alternate flight plan and notify the relevant departments in time so as to make preparations.
(3) After the goods are delivered smoothly, the departure liaison meeting of the distribution center of the origin will issue a forecast of the goods information in the system.
2. Enter Hong Kong
Port entry refers to the temporary warehouse where goods arrive at the receiving place from the place of departure. In this chapter, it refers to the process of goods entering the destination distribution center from the origin distribution center.
In this process, the flow direction of goods is: receiving the forecast-arranging the driver to pick up the goods-scanning the goods in the station-unpacking, sorting-loading the goods out of the station-sending them to subordinate joining points or secondary stations.
1. Receive forecast
(1 Arrival contact of the destination distribution center always pays attention to and receives the cargo information forecast sent by the origin distribution center in the system.
(2) According to the forecast content of the originating distribution center system, the inbound liaison officer sorts, classifies and proofreads the forecast information and bill of lading according to the pick-up point, and makes a pick-up forecast.
(3) The arrival liaison will hand over all the delivery vouchers and delivery forecast forms to the consignor, and arrange the corresponding consignor to perform the delivery task.
(4) In case of abnormal conditions such as cabin pulling, delay and cancellation of the inbound flight on the same day, the inbound liaison officer shall notify the departure station of the flight and send a copy of these conditions to the quality control, customer service center and other relevant personnel.
Arrange delivery
(1 The delivery personnel shall deliver the goods to the designated place within the specified time according to the delivery forecast.
(2) When picking up the goods, you must check the basic information such as flight number, bill of lading number, number of pieces, weight and outer packing. , and check the quantity and completeness of the goods according to the delivery forecast.
(3) If the goods are found to be damaged or lost, the consignee shall immediately negotiate with the carrier, issue a certificate of damage or loss, and notify the arrival liaison of the distribution center; In the process of picking up the goods, if there are any abnormal situations such as pulling the goods, delay, no bill of lading, no bill of lading or no bill of lading, the consignee shall immediately feedback the information to the arrival liaison at the airport.
(4) After receiving the abnormal information fed back by the deliveryman, the inbound and outbound liaison officers must immediately feed back the abnormal situation to the flight department or branch of the distribution center of the origin, track the abnormal situation and report the abnormal situation of the system.
(5) After ensuring that all the goods have been loaded, the consignee closes and locks the door, affixes the automobile seal, and returns to the distribution center within the specified time.
3. Inbound scanning
(1) After picking the goods back to the distribution center, the picker will hand them over to the scanner, count the total number of pieces, and the infield operator will unload the goods. If there is any damage or missing parts in the delivery process, the delivery staff should show the abnormal goods certificate issued by the airport freight department and other transportation units to the entry-exit liaison, which will be filed and marked in the system.
(2) When the bus stops, the infield operator checks whether the bus blockade is complete and asks the driver for the bus seal.
Car logo, check whether the blockade number is consistent with the number marked on the car logo, if not, check with the driver in time.
(3) When unloading, the infield operator should check the quantity of goods and the integrity of outer packaging according to the forecast content, and scan the express mail into the station. After unloading, you need to enter the car for inspection to ensure that there is no missing express mail.
(4) While scanning the express mail, the scanner needs to check whether the outer packaging of the express mail is in good condition. If it is damaged, the scanner will weigh it on site and verify the weight marked on the waybill, take all-round photos of the express mail and register relevant information.
(5) After the vehicle is unloaded, check the number of express shipments scanned by the scanning gun and the number and system marked on the seal.
Whether the predicted figures are consistent, if not, the abnormal situation should be uploaded within 2 hours after warehousing scanning, and detailed figures should be listed at the same time.
4. unpacking and sorting
(1 The infield operator determines the priority of express sorting according to the different departure times of the outlets, and carries out preliminary sorting. When sorting, all documents and small pieces must be put in baskets.
(2) Confirm whether the container bag needs unpacking. Before unpacking, confirm whether the blockade of the container bag is complete, whether the blockade number matches and whether the container bag is in good condition. If there is any abnormality, immediately check the quantity and packaging of the goods in the bag. If the quantity is wrong or the package is damaged, contact the operating unit of the previous link immediately.
(3) The infield operator turns out the inside of all unpacked container bags to confirm that they are completely empty. After removing all identification labels, empty container bags must be folded neatly and put into the designated material area for safekeeping.
(4) The infield operator subdivides the express mail into designated areas according to the sorting scheme of the distribution center, carries out container operation on the express mail about to leave Hong Kong, and indicates the information on the label, ready to load it and leave the station.
5. Load and leave the station
(1 According to the sorting scheme, put the outbound express on the designated shuttle bus. Pay attention to handle with care when loading, and don't throw it around. Heavy goods, bulk goods and container bags should be placed near the carriage door.
(2) If the shuttle bus is loaded with express mail sent to multiple locations, the infield operator shall use nets or other auxiliary equipment to separate the express mail from different destinations, so as to facilitate the unloading of the next link.
(3) Express shipments should be "outbound scanned" piece by piece and bag by bag while being loaded. Immediately after loading, clean up the job site and check whether there is any express mail lost.

(No.2 bus stops at the station, and it is checked for weight and seal.
(3) Arrange employees to unload and sort.
How to transport goods by international air?
International air cargo transportation mode
Large airlines operate regular cargo flights in some airlines and use AllCargoCarrier for transportation.
Characteristics of air transportation:
1, the flight is due to a fixed route; There are fixed ports of call and scheduled flights, so international cargo circulation mostly adopts flight transportation, which can reach all the space destinations in the world safely and quickly.
2. It is convenient for the consignee and consignor to know the departure and arrival time of the goods accurately, which is very beneficial to the transportation of urgently needed goods, fresh and perishable goods and valuable goods in the market.
3. Air transportation is usually mixed passenger and cargo transportation. Therefore, space is limited and large quantities of goods cannot be shipped in time. It is often necessary to transport by stages and batches. This is the disadvantage of air transport.
CharteredCarrier can be divided into two types: full charter and partial charter.
1. Integral packaging machine
(1 refers to the whole plane chartered flight, which means that the airline rents the whole plane to the charterer according to the conditions and expenses agreed with the charterer in advance, and transports the goods from one or several airports to the destination.
(2) Under normal circumstances, the charterer should contact the airline one month before the shipment of the goods, so that the airline can arrange transportation, apply to the take-off and landing airport and relevant government departments, and go through the relevant formalities of transit or entry.
(3) chartered flight fees: one thing, one discussion, changes with the supply and demand situation in the international market. In principle, the chartered flight fee is charged at a fixed rate per flight kilometer, and the air release fee is charged at 80% of the cost per flight kilometer. Therefore, when large quantities of goods are used in chartered flight, we must strive for the return trip, which is relatively low. Only one-way flights are used, and the freight is relatively high.
2. Some chartered flight flights.
(1 An airplane is jointly chartered by several air freight companies or shippers, or the airline sells the cabin of an airplane to several air freight companies to load goods. This is part of chartered flight. It is used to transport goods smaller than the whole aircraft cabin, but the cargo volume is very large.
(2) Comparison of some chartered flight and flights.
The time is longer than the flight. Although some chartered flight have fixed schedules, they often cannot take off on time for other reasons;
(2) In order to protect the interests of domestic airlines, governments often impose various restrictions on foreign airlines engaged in chartered flight. For example, the scope of chartered flight is relatively narrow, and the landing place is restricted. If it is necessary to land at other places than the designated place, it is necessary to apply for approval from the relevant departments of the local government before landing (such as applying for entry, passing through airspace, landing place, etc.).
(3) Advantages of chartered flight
① Solve the contradiction of insufficient flight seats.
All the goods are transported by charter flights, saving time and multiple delivery procedures.
Make up for the lack of direct flights and do not need to transfer.
④ Reduce the damage, discrepancy or loss of goods.
⑤ Relieve the flight tension in the peak season of air transportation.
③ Solve the transportation problem of seafood and live animals.

If it is by air, what are the specific steps? Need to know urgently, thank you!
If it is domestic, it shall be handled as follows:
1, check in. All foreign trade companies and industrial and trade enterprises can handle the consignment after receiving the letter of credit, that is, according to the relevant shipping terms in the letter of credit and contract, as well as the name, number of pieces, date of shipment and destination of the goods. , fill in the consignment note and provide relevant documents, which will be sent to Sinotrans as the basis for booking flights.
2. Arrange the cargo hold. After receiving the consignment note and related documents, foreign shipping companies will arrange shipping space with China Civil Aviation according to the stowage principle, cargo nature, cargo quantity and destination. , and then the air waybill will be issued by China Civil Aviation.
3. Loading and installation. According to the flight, the sinotrans company takes the goods from the warehouse and sends them to the airport on behalf of foreign trade companies or industrial and trade enterprises, and sends the goods to the designated shipping space with the loading documents.
4. Issue the waybill. After the goods are loaded, China Civil Aviation will issue the general waybill, and the forwarding company will issue the sub-waybill. The waybill has three originals and twelve copies. Three originals, the first for the consignor, the second for the shipping company, and the third for the consignee with the goods. Twelve copies are used for customs declaration, financial settlement, foreign agency, transit distribution and other purposes.
5. Send delivery notice. After the goods are loaded, you can send a delivery notice to the buyer, so that the other party can prepare for payment, exchange documents and handle the receipt.
If export, take Shanghai export as an example:
I. Shipper
1: Provide cargo information: destination port and destination port consignee's name, number of pieces, weight, carton size, name, address, telephone number, delivery time, consignor's name, telephone number and address.
Shanghai Customs has strict supervision over the import and export of powdery goods and chemical products. Generally speaking, if such goods are involved, the laboratory report should be made in Shanghai Institute of Chemical Technology.
2. Required customs declaration materials:
A: List, contract, invoice, manual, verification form, electromechanical card, etc.
B: Fill in the Power of Attorney for Customs Declaration in the process of customs declaration, stamp 1 blank stationery for standby, and hand it over to the freight forwarder or customs broker who entrusts customs declaration for handling.
C: Confirm whether you have the right to import and export, and whether the products need quotas.
D: Submit the above documents or other necessary documents to the freight forwarder or customs broker for processing according to the trade mode.
3. Looking for a freight forwarder: The owner is free to choose a freight forwarder, but he should choose a suitable agency from the aspects of freight rate, service, freight forwarding strength and after-sales service.
4. Query: negotiate the freight rate with the selected freight forwarder. Air transport price level is divided into:
MN+45+ 100+300+500+ 1000
Due to the different services provided by airlines, the freight rates for freight forwarders are also different. Generally speaking, the bigger the heavyweight, the more favorable the price. You can also apply for more favorable freight.
Two: Freight Forwarding Company
1: Power of Attorney: After the shipper and the freight forwarder determine the transportation price and service conditions, the freight forwarder will give the shipper a blank "Power of Attorney for Shipment of Goods", and the shipper will truthfully fill in this consignment letter and fax or return it to the freight forwarder.
2. Commodity inspection: the forwarder will check whether the contents of the power of attorney are complete (incomplete or irregular), understand whether the goods need to be inspected, and assist in handling the goods that need to be inspected.
3. Booking space: The forwarder can book space from the airline according to the shipper's "power of attorney" (the shipper can also designate the airline and confirm the flight and related information to the customer.
4. Receiving goods:
Answer: the shipper delivers the goods by itself: the freight forwarder should fax the goods storage map to the shipper, indicating the contact person, telephone number, receiving address, time, etc. So that the goods can be put into storage in time and accurately.
B: Freight forwarder receives goods: The consignor should provide the freight forwarder with the specific receiving address, contact person, telephone number, time and other relevant information to ensure that the goods are put into storage in time.
5. Settlement of transportation expenses: When the goods are not received, both parties shall determine:
Prepayment: local payment is used to pay: guests at the port of destination pay.
6. Tips:
A: Mode of transportation: direct, air-to-air transshipment and sea-air combined transportation.
B: Freight composition: air freight (subject to the freight rate negotiated by the freight forwarder and the consignor, customs declaration fee (250 yuan/ticket, 50 yuan/ticket preparation fee, customs declaration fee 150 yuan/ticket, fuel surcharge and war risk (subject to airline charges, generally 1.0 yuan/kg, respectively), freight station.
Shanghai air freight forwarders have many companies that pack cabins and boards, so they can get more favorable prices. But the air freight price in Shanghai often changes, usually once a week. Moreover, September to the end of the year is a relatively peak season, and the shipping space is relatively tight.
3. Airport/air cargo terminal:
1: tally: after the goods are delivered to the relevant cargo terminals, the freight forwarder will make a main label and a sub-label and stick them on the goods according to the airline's waybill number, so as to facilitate the identification of the owner, freight forwarder, cargo terminal, customs, airlines, commodity inspection and consignee at the port of departure and destination.
2. Weighing: The labeled goods will be sent to the freight station for safety inspection, weighing, and measuring the size of the goods to calculate the volume weight. After that, the cargo terminal will write the actual weight and volume weight of the whole cargo into the "Receipt and Delivery Book", affix the "Security Seal" and "Receipt and Delivery Seal" and sign for confirmation.
3. Billing: The freight forwarder inputs all cargo data into the airline waybill according to the "Receiving and Shipping Book" of the freight station.
4. Special treatment: Due to the importance, danger and shipment restrictions (such as oversize and overweight) of the goods, the freight station will require the carrier's airline representative to review and sign a statement before entering the warehouse.
5. Hint: There are three main air cargo terminals in Shanghai:
China Eastern Airlines Cargo Terminal: handles the cargo of Eastern Airlines, China Southern Airlines and China International Airlines.
Characteristics and management mode of air logistics transportation
Characteristics and management mode of air logistics transportation
Introduction: Although air freight started late, it developed rapidly. This is a modern mode of transportation. Air transportation has incomparable advantages over other modes of transportation, such as fast transportation speed, short transportation distance and safe and accurate transportation. The following is the characteristics and operation mode of air logistics transportation I brought to you, hoping to help you.
Characteristics of air logistics transportation
(1 disadvantages of air transportation:
The main disadvantages of air transportation are that the cabin volume and load capacity of aircraft are relatively small, and the carrying cost and freight rate are higher than those of ground transportation. Because the flight is limited by meteorological conditions, it affects its normal punctuality. In addition, it is difficult to give full play to the advantages of fast air transport in short-distance transportation.
(2) Advantages of air transportation:
1. It has a high transmission speed. Nowadays, the competition in the world market is fierce and the market is changing rapidly. Time cost is an important factor that enterprises need to consider, and the high delivery speed of air transportation has become a favorable factor for commodity competition in the current international market.
2. Low breakage rate and good safety. The value of air cargo is high, the ground operation process of air cargo is strict, and the management system is perfect, which makes the damage rate of goods very low and the safety is good.
3. Suitable for fresh and seasonal goods. With the improvement of people's living standards, people now demand high freshness of food, especially those expensive products. The logistics from Dongguan to Shandong can only be realized by air. Fresh goods have a high demand for time, and the delay in transportation will make the goods lose their original value. Air transport can ensure the fresh survival of goods and help to open up long-distance markets. For seasonal goods, air transportation can ensure that the goods can be listed before the arrival of the peak season, thus avoiding the cost of not selling the goods because of missing the season.
4. It can simplify the packaging, save the packaging cost, and is not limited by the ground conditions. It is suitable for transporting small commodities, fresh commodities, seasonal commodities and precious commodities. Although the cost of air transportation is high, it is advantageous to use air transportation for large and light goods, because the starting point of air transportation is lower than that of sea transportation, and it is faster and punctual. With the development and deepening of new technology, products are developing from thick, heavy, long, large to thin, light, short and small, so there will be more and more goods suitable for air transportation in the future, and the role of air transportation will become increasingly apparent.
Operation mode of air logistics transportation
Air transport modes mainly include flight transport, charter transport, centralized consignment and air express service.
1. air transport
Refers to flights that follow a fixed route. It has a fixed sailing time, route and stops. Flight transportation is usually a mixed passenger and cargo aircraft, with small cargo hold capacity, which is difficult to meet the needs of large-scale cargo transportation and high freight rate. However, due to the fixed flight schedule, it is beneficial for customers to arrange the transportation of fresh goods or urgently needed goods.
2. Charter transportation
When the cargo volume is large and the flight mode can't meet the transportation requirements, charter flights are generally used for transportation, which can be divided into two types: complete chartered flight and partial chartered flight.
Full-plane chartered flight refers to the mode of transportation in which airlines or chartered flight agents rent the whole plane to chartered flight and transport the goods from one or several air stations to the designated destination according to the conditions and rates agreed with chartered flight people in advance. It is suitable for transporting bulk goods. Generally speaking, its freight rate is lower than that by air. China's civil aviation chartered flight freight is charged at a fixed rate per flight kilometer and 70% of the freight rate per flight kilometer.
Part of the charter transportation means that several air freight forwarding companies or delivery companies charter an aircraft, or airlines rent the space of an aircraft to several air freight forwarding companies respectively. Suitable for goods smaller than the whole machine. The freight is lower than the flight, but the delivery time is longer than the flight.
3. Centralized consignment
It means that air freight forwarders entrust several batches of goods shipped separately to airlines as a whole, fill in a general waybill and ship them to the same site, and air freight forwarders entrust local freight forwarders to handle the business of receiving goods, customs declaration and distribution. The more goods consigned centrally, the lower the freight paid, so it is widely used in international air transport, and centralized consignment is one of the important businesses of air freight forwarders.
4. Air Express Service
Companies specializing in air express cooperate with airlines to provide fast delivery services for shippers. The specific method is: after the company sends a special person to the delivery office to pick up the goods, it will send the goods to the airport in the fastest way, put them on the nearest flight, and then cable the flight number, name and consignee of the foreign agent to receive the goods. After the flight arrives at the destination port, it will be picked up by a special person and delivered directly to the consignee after completing the customs clearance procedures. This mode is called "table-to-table transportation" and is the fastest mode of transportation, especially suitable for transporting all kinds of urgently needed articles and documents.
