Air freight refers to the shipment of commercial items that are of high value. It covers all three major air transport modes, which are: LTL (less than truckload), Intercity, and Express.
The demand for airline cargo is limited by cost and it's estimated that about 70% of an item's price gets added in fees and tariffs at different ports along the way.
This can make air freight very expensive but companies that know what they're doing do excellent business with it because more often than not they're dealing with high ticket and time-sensitive items, like production samples, fashion garments, original artwork, and electrical goods.
Airfreight prices are typically around $20–$50 per pound. There are times that certain commodities cost less per pound compared to other modes of freight due to their weight. Agricultural production, seafood, and pharmaceutics are usually expensive, making it necessary for you to either have an airline fuel card or open a new airline credit card because the rates often change when one has not purchased the commodity in advance.

Air freight in landlocked countries in the future:
In the short run, higher fuel prices are expected to result in slower growth of air cargo traffic or even a possible downturn. In order for landlocked developing countries to attract air freight services that are both frequent and competitively priced, permitting free competition (or “open skies”) for air cargo services can be significant but not sufficient if most shipments are transported on passenger aircraft as small shipments.
Getting in your car to drive to the airport is often not an option for those living far away and have to take a long flight to their destination. They will have to catch a shuttle or depending on the time of day, even rent a car.
This becomes difficult when they don’t know exactly where they’re going once they get through customs either because there are no signs leading them or because it just looks too confusing after getting lost a couple times already while traveling.
