Space for airfreight
Space for airfreight is booked on a volumetric basis (depending on whether it is dense or lightweight) as per the following formula:
Length x Height x Width (in cm) ÷ 6,000 = Volumetric Weight
This answer is then compared to the actual weight of the cargo and the larger of the two numbers is the chargeable weight.
For example:
A package weighs 200kg. Its dimensions are 100cm x 60cm x 300cm = 1,800,000 cm3
This cubic measurement is then divided by 6,000
1,800,000 ÷ 6,000 = 300kg of volumetric weight.
Therefore, this cargo would be charged on the greater weight of 300kg as this is the larger of the two measurements.
