Air freight is the fastest and most premium mode of transport — and managing it requires a different skill set than surface logistics. This course covers the full operational landscape of air cargo, from booking to delivery.

What you'll learn: • Air freight fundamentals: general cargo, express, charter, and belly vs. freighter capacity • IATA cargo regulations and airway bill (AWB) documentation • Air freight rate structures: weight breaks, chargeable weight, and fuel surcharges • Booking and space management: working with airlines, GSAs, and freight forwarders • Express logistics: how integrators (express networks) operate and when to use them • Time-definite vs. day-definite services: choosing the right product for each shipment • Security requirements: IATA CEIV, known shipper programs, and screened cargo • Perishables and pharmaceuticals by air: special handling and regulatory compliance • Cost optimization: consolidation, mode-switching, and air-ocean hybrid strategies

Ideal for freight forwarders, supply chain managers, and logistics professionals handling time-sensitive or high-value international shipments.
