If necessary, air freight can be integrated into multimodal schemes involving two or more modes of transport.
In general and standard transportation, cargo is transported as separate, individually packaged items. Boxes, containers, and packages are typically shipped by airplane. Heavy and oversized cargo is transported using specialized cargo aircraft equipped with unloading and loading equipment. When organizing air freight, small items are stored in a single warehouse while awaiting departure, which takes longer but offers savings. To reduce shipping costs, some airlines ship goods via accompanying air freight.
Air freight for special cargo requires more complex organization. This category of shipment includes perishable goods, plants, and animals. Air freight is permitted for shipment of cargo that meets weight and size standards, is not hazardous, and is accompanied by the necessary documentation.
