Transportation of goods by plane is a reliable and fastest way of delivery. Air transportation has many nuances that must be considered to avoid wasting time and money. Observance of a few simple rules will help to organize air transportation in the shortest possible time.
Inform the air carrier of the nature, weight, and dimensions of the cargo. There are restrictions on the weight and volume of the aircraft, as well as the type of cargo. Specialists will find the nearest flight of the appropriate aircraft for you and calculate the cost of transportation. Be sure to check whether your cargo is classified as prohibited or dangerous.
Take care of the packaging - it must correspond to the category of cargo being transported and remain intact throughout the journey. Be sure to label all cargo spaces with the consignee's data. Prepare all necessary supporting documents.
Agree on the place and time where you will bring the cargo for further transportation by plane. Or let us know where and when the carrier can pick it up.
Determine which stages of cargo preparation you will do yourself, and which you will entrust to the carrier.
Provide the address and contact information for the sender and receiver. You will be informed of the flight number, date of departure, and the number of the air waybill, by which you can track the arrival of the cargo at the destination.
Experience shows that many familiar, apparently harmless things can turn out to be dangerous goods. For example, dangerous goods include food flavor enhancers, perfumes, alcoholic beverages, aerosols, chemicals, electronic equipment, and others. At high altitudes, atmospheric pressure and air temperature change, and vibration appears. The plane is a closed space, so it is practically impossible to remove the cargo or neutralize the consequences of the dangerous properties of the substance or object. Therefore, such cargo can pose a threat to flight safety and the health of passengers and crew.
Transportation of dangerous goods is regulated by legislation and aviation regulations. Dangerous goods are classified depending on the types of danger. The classification of dangerous goods can be found on our website on the page Characteristics of dangerous goods.
Consult a dangerous goods specialist before planning air travel. If the cargo turns out to be really dangerous, not every airport has licenses and certificates for receiving and processing dangerous cargo. Therefore, the cargo may have to be sent to another, the nearest airport, and then land transport should be used for delivery to the desired destination. As for airlines, they may have their own rules and restrictions regarding certain classes of danger.
Dangerous goods must have packaging that fully complies with all applicable standards and regulations. The packaging of dangerous goods must be dry and clean, without sharp corners and protrusions, so as not to damage other goods or the aircraft. Packaging for liquid or bulk cargo must withstand high pressure, vibrations, and temperature conditions in the aircraft and completely exclude leakage or spillage of the contents during the flight. Be responsible for the packaging of dangerous goods.
In the absence of the above documents, it is necessary to provide data describing the nature of the cargo as much as possible (full description, composition, properties, etc.). Similarly, the necessary data describe the outer and inner packaging, weight (net, gross), and tonnage.

Due to various circumstances, from time to time there is a need to transport pets to another city or country. To overcome distances between cities that are several thousand kilometers apart, an airplane is the best and fastest means of transport.
You should know that each airline has its own rules for transporting live animals. Some allow animals to be transported only in the cabin or only in the luggage compartment. Therefore, it is necessary to choose an airline company in advance.
Find out in advance about all the requirements and the procedure for processing documents for the transportation of animals at the Veterinary Control Service of the airport of departure.
