How does “playing board” operate in aviation logistics?
Many people who do aviation logistics estimate that the understanding of the word air transport is relatively vague. The popular understanding of playing board is that before the aircraft loading warehouse, the goods are first loaded onto the container according to certain specifications, and then uniformly loaded into the aircraft warehouse (similar to shipping packaging).
The boards used are from the airline and are used exclusively for loading, each board has its own number to track the status of the goods loaded on it.
Freight forwarding companies usually sign a board agreement with the airlines, and the airlines are settled according to the board, so that they can decide how to allocate according to the re-bubble of the goods, which can maximize the benefits of heavy foaming and maximize the profit margin. Usually signing a board agreement with an airline is a manifestation of the strength of the freight forwarding company. Because only with a solid customer supply, strong business force, strong shipping and booking strength, we can distribute goods more flexibly to achieve maximum profit.
The board has certain specifications, there are large board (318*244) small board (318*224), etc., and the website of the relevant airlines can be found basically. As for the requirements for playing the board, it depends on the class you are going to. If you get a low board, the low board can be loaded to 1.6M flat height (usually the low board can hold 8-10 squares of goods, depending on whether the goods are pallets or bulk), and the medium and high boards are generally 747 freighters. It is 2.4M flat, if the MD11 freighter wants 1.6M to close, specifically look at the model and the requirements of various airlines.
Now air cargo is played by freight forwarders and charters, customers only need to understand the concept. Freight forwarding companies and airlines are settled by board. As long as each board is filled, air freight can be saved a lot, and customers can get a lot of benefits. At present, most of the board (box warehouse) is an air freight line, which is one of the reasons why the air line is cheaper than the general air freight.
