Patterns of flow

4. Several Functions of Expediting the Movement
To determine and obtain the optimum freight rate and to select the best mixture of modes and routes
To arrange and oversee export and import customs clearances, including preparing all necessary documentation and obtaining requisite licenses (these are procedures with specialist forwarder is familiar)
To arrange for the secure packing of individual consignments.
To consolidate small consignments into larger shipments to take advantage of lower shipping rates (the financial savings obtained by consolidation are shared between the forwarder and the shipper)
To provide timely pickup and delivery services at both ends of the shipment.

7. The airway bill is a document with multiple uses
Evidence of the airline’s receipt of goods
A dispatch note showing accompanying documentation and special instructions
A form of invoice indicating transportation charges
An insurance certificate, if insurance is effected by the airlines
Documentary evidence of contents for export, transit, and import requirements of customs
Contents information for constructing the loading sheet and flight manifest
A delivery receipt

32. Principal stages in exporting and importing freight

33. Main frame systems for Computerization of Facilitation
Consignments not received within 24 hours of the receipt of the airway bill
Consignments not delivered with 2 days of customs clearance
Through transits not delivered to onward carrier in 6 hours
Transshipments and inter airport removals not achieved within 7 days

34. Cargo community systems for Computerization of Facilitation
Access flight space availability
Obtain electronic booking/reservation
Transmit electronic documents (airway bill)
Receive electronic documents
Provide consignment tracking and status
Community among forwarders
Provide schedule information

35. Three Principal Objectives for Form of Operation of Modern Cargo Terminal Designs
Minimization of accidents to personnel and cargo
Minimization of damage to ULDs
Maximum utilization of cargo terminal space

36. Conventional Operation of Differentiate Terminal Freight Operations for the Integrated Carrier
The freight is under the physical control of one organization throughout the whole of its journey
Delivery to the exporting airport and pick-up at the importing airport is by the integrated carrier itself, the landside pick-up area is more easily controlled and organized
No freight forwarders or clearing agents are involved
No other airline is involved
All-cargo aircraft are used and the characteristics of the fleet are well known to the terminal operator
The freight is given a guaranteed delivery time; this implies rapid clearance through the airport facility
Documentation and facilitation is through on company’s system
High security and limited access to the terminal is possible because no outside organizations are involved other than customs.
