Air transport was born more than 114 years ago (on December 17, 1903), the first flight by airplane in human history was made by two inventors Orville and Wilbur Wright (USA). Marking a breakthrough in the field of aviation and developing brilliantly worldwide as it is today, helping delivery in international trade become much faster than other modes of transport.

Responsibility of the buyer or seller

Depending on the agreement in the foreign trade contract on delivery terms (based on Incoterms 2010), the seller is responsible for air transport (booking flights) when the delivery terms are CPT (Carriage Paid to), CIP (Carriage and Insurance Paid to). When the delivery terms in the foreign trade contract are EXW (receive goods at seller’s warehouse) or FCA (Free Carrier), the buyer is responsible for air transport.

Corresponding to the delivery terms, KQ TRADING will advise and provide air freight services from port to port (Air Port to Air Port). Transport from seller’s warehouse to buyer’s port (Door to Air Port) or vice versa; from seller’s warehouse to buyer’s warehouse (Door to Door) or vice versa.

In an increasingly interconnected and developed world, air freight services have become an indispensable part of international trade and supply chains. The fast, safe and reliable transportation of goods from one point to another is an important factor in meeting the needs of businesses and consumers. Air freight is a service that has been used quite commonly in recent years. However, not all items can be sent by air.
