Technical FAQs 4

What do airport fees include?

For aircraft that are obtained through wet leases or charters, the rental costs include crew and maintenance.26 The airport fees are primarily landing and parking fees. The ground handling costs include handling charges for the aircraft and cargo.

How much does an air freighter cost per block hour?

An analysis conducted by ICAO in 2000 indicated operating costs per block hour for air freighters of $4,000–6,500 for larger wide-bodied aircraft, $2,500–3,500 for the smaller wide-bodied aircraft and $1,600–2,800 for the narrow bodied aircraft.

Do air cargo rates still apply?

These are sometimes included in the bilateral air traffic agreements. However these rates are no longer enforced and apply only for small shipments or routes with relatively thin traffic. IATA members set their own rates often on a per shipment basis. The structure of the pricing of air cargo services has changed as competition has increased.

How will air freight rates affect international cargo transport?

The proportion of air cargo transported on widebody passenger aircraft is expected to decline, assuming passenger traffic continues to grow more slowly than airfreight. The rising airfreight rates will encourage a modal shift for existing international cargo to sea and sea-air transport.
