The most important factors determining the cost of air load can be its weight, for this purpose, to calculate the cost of transport, two types of weight are considered, which are the actual weight and the volume weight, which is the actual weight of the load on the scale. While the volumetric weight according to the dimensions of the load is calculated from the following formula:
Multiply the length, width and height by 6000.
After calculating the volumetric weight and measuring the actual weight, whichever is larger is considered as the final weight. Finally, the cost per kilogram of goods to be shipped by air is calculated based on the larger weight. The reason for using volumetric weight is that sometimes shipments do not weigh much but take up a lot of space.
