Factors Affecting Air Freight Rates
Weight and Volume of Goods:
Even light but bulky goods can incur high charges, similar to heavy cargo, due to volumetric weight calculations.
Route and Origin-Destination:
- Longer routes or those with infrequent flights generally have higher prices.
- Popular routes, such as Vietnam-USA or Vietnam-EU, or specific transit routes, can also have significant price variations.
Type of Goods:
Special cargo like flammable goods, frozen goods, dangerous goods (DG cargo), or perishable goods will incur additional specialized handling fees.
International Air Surcharges:
- Fuel Surcharge (FSC)
- Peak Season Surcharge (PSS)
Note: These surcharges fluctuate frequently, significantly impacting the final price.
Peak Season and Market Conditions:
- Periods before Tet (Lunar New Year), Black Friday, Christmas, or major festivals see a sharp increase in demand, leading to sudden price surges.
- Additionally, factors like airline strikes, natural disasters, or epidemics can also influence rates.
