This article provides a detailed analysis of the cargo loading process for air freight, from warehouse to aircraft. It covers inbound security checks, palletizing, load balancing, and final loading operations, helping readers understand the complexity and precision involved in air logistics.
With the changes in global trade patterns and technological advancements, the demand for air cargo has significantly increased. The need to transport over 10,000 tons of goods has established a requirement for both wide-body and narrow-body cargo aircraft. Narrow-body aircraft are suitable for small-scale transportation due to their flexibility and cost-effectiveness, while wide-body aircraft dominate in the transportation of bulk goods. Although China still lags in the number of large cargo aircraft, the market development potential remains enormous.
Priority for loading heavy cargo in international air freight is determined by pallet position load capacity, aircraft characteristics, and cargo density, not solely by weight. Understanding weight distribution principles helps shippers avoid delays and improve loading rights during peak season. The core standard is cargo density, supplemented by destination concentration and aircraft compatibility. Balancing safety and efficiency requires adhering to principles of even weight distribution, centered gravity, and aircraft suitability. Optimizing cargo information, selecting standard packaging, and signing priority agreements can enhance loading priority.
