Let’s Explore These Benefits:

1. Speed and Efficiency:

   • Air freight is the fastest mode of transportation. It ensures that perishable goods reach their destination quickly and efficiently, even across long distances.

   • For items with a short shelf life, such as fresh produce, pharmaceutical supplies, and flowers, air transport is ideal. It significantly reduces transit time compared to land or sea routes.

4. Precise Temperature Control:

   • Airlines use temperature-controlled containers (Unit Load Devices or ULDs) to maintain the required temperature for perishable cargo.

   • These containers can be adapted to keep contents refrigerated or frozen using electrical power or dry ice. Envirotainer, a major supplier, offers containers with a temperature range of -20°C to 20°C.

   • Controlling the temperature on a single flight is easier than managing it across multiple land or sea routes.

6. Regulations and Confidence:

   • The International Air Transport Association (IATA) defines regulations for shipping perishable goods. These guidelines ensure that airlines and other supply chain partners handle temperature-controlled cargo correctly. Customers can have confidence that their goods are transported in compliance with industry standards. In summary, air transport provides a reliable solution for shipping perishable items, maintaining quality, and meeting tight delivery schedules.
