Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:

The aim of this course is; students in the logistics world, service provider and / or service area positions; air cargo sales and operational processes to prepare for control. One of the aims of our course is to teach the international applications in air cargo transportation as well as local practices in airport customs.
Transport and commercial documents used in air cargo transportation will be identified and identified by working on case and sample loading. During the course, students will be positioned as airfreight forwarders and will see all the steps of air cargo loading according to different incoterms in an international trade.

Course Content:

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

• Recognize and identify commercial and loading documents in an air cargo shipment
• To be able to calculate air cargo freight,
• To determine the costs of the buyer and seller in an air cargo shipment according to Incoterms 2010,
• To determine the most suitable air transport model, airline and route for the current cargo
• Interpret the importance of safety and security practices in air transport
• To classify general and special cargo types and aircraft types.
• To understand the import and export operational processes in air cargo shipments and to be able to follow the ethical rules.
