With the recent rise in oil prices, fuel accounts for about half of an aircraft‘s annual operating costs for cargo and passengers. Since fuel consumption is roughly proportional to aircraft weight and distance flown, the marginal cost of freight is calculated based on weight and destination.
For bulk cargo, space is offered on an “as available” basis, as passengers and their baggage are given priority. Because the rate is usually determined based on marginal cost and then adjusted according to the level of service.
For charter services, rates are typically higher, reflecting the extra distance travelled, including empty runs, and the balance between demand and available capacity.
For shorter distances, airfares per mile are higher because most of the journey is spent on the ground and more time in the air for getting on and off. In the longer term, traffic is expected to grow. Still, air travel will be increasingly integrated into multimodal supply chains that better balance cost and time.
Air freight will also open up new markets by providing a fast and reliable service like UK Kenya Shipping for the first deliveries of products.
