Selecting A Good International Air Freight Services Provider Is Vital

By Lelia Hall


Many businesses from all around the world will need to send time sensitive and high value packages frequently. This is when many will choose to use the International Air Freight Services available to them. They will guarantee that all deliveries will arrive at their destination right on time.

At UPS they deliver packages anywhere in Africa to Asia. This includes the Far East, South East and the subcontinents of Pakistan and Sri Lanka. They also cover the Pacific Islands and Australia as well as those in the Caribbean including Haiti and Trinidad and Central America, Europe, the Middle East, North America and South America.

Each company will have their own rules and regulations so the prices will vary and this will also depend on the destination. The majority of them will have a website where one can go and browse and ask questions if need be. It is best to use the more well known names and if still unsure read the reviews people have written regarding the company they have used in the past.

There is however another way of converting and that is by using any medium wide bodied Boeing or Airbus as there will be no need to strengthen the floor or add a large cargo door. The forward and astern doors will be used to load and unload with little problem. In order to move the containers from the lower to the upper deck a LCF platform lift will be used, it will also act as a part of the floor of the main deck during flight.

There is another way of ensuring that parcels etc. Will be delivered overseas and that is by ocean. The bigger articles that are generally done this way are vehicles as well as household goods. Many of the well known companies offer both these services but each one will have a different set of rules, regulations and implemented practises.

All the seats and other items will need to be removed and modifications or replacements of the floor structures will need to be added. The lift control systems in both the rear and forward sections will need to be installed with operator stations as well. A lift platform with the adjoining structures in the main deck will be created as well as the roller mats around the lifts need to be laid.

All the segmented safety nets and the Cargo Loading Systems will need to be added. Along the fuselage wall and full length cabin liner will need to be added. All lighting systems both in the lower holds and the main deck will be rewired.

The Environment Control System which provides the air supply, thermal and cabin pressure control will need to be changed. The Avionics cooling, fire suppression and smoke detection will also be added at the same time. All accommodation will be fitted to ensure comfort for the crew during flight.
