Factors affecting domestic air freight rates
Shipping unit
Each domestic air cargo transport unit will have its own regulations on how to calculate charges. Therefore, before sending goods, please find out about the shipping unit in advance. After that, you can text to get advice on shipping rates.
Type of goods transported
The type of goods transported is an important factor affecting the fluctuation of freight rates. Because this form of transportation is mainly applied to high-value goods or special goods. Therefore, the packaging stage is carried out very carefully and meticulously. These packages must be arranged in a special compartment on the plane. This ensures goods safety and avoids affecting the airline's reputation.
Therefore, domestic air freight rates will change due to this factor. For example, if you transport fresh food that needs to be stored in a cold storage compartment, there will be a price difference compared to goods in the regular compartment.
Cargo volume
Volume will affect domestic air freight rates. The heavier and bulkier the goods are, of course the higher the freight price you will have to pay. Most shipping businesses list freight rates based on the weight of goods up to 2kg. When sending more than 2kg, a fee corresponding to the additional 0.5kg will be added.
Shipping method
If the shipment needs to be delivered urgently, you can choose express delivery. At that time, the fee you have to pay will be higher. Some other shipping services you can request include delivering the goods directly to the recipient. With this service you need to pay an additional fee. If you want to save money, you can go to the airport to pick up the goods yourself when the order has just landed.
Transport distance
Transporting domestic air cargo between one province to another will take a certain amount of time depending on the distance from the sender to the recipient. The farther the distance, the higher the cost will be. In addition to freight, if the recipient is in a remote province, an additional fee will be added for door-to-door delivery.

How much is the shipping fee for domestic air freight for 1kg? How to calculate?
Currently, domestic air transportation is increasingly developing and is chosen by many people when they need to send goods. Therefore, domestic air freight rates always receive a lot of attention.
Based on the weight and volume of goods to be transported, it will be divided into 2 ways to calculate domestic air freight rates as follows:
How to calculate when actual mass is less than volumetric mass
Calculation formula:
Air freight = Unit fare x Charge volume
* For example: Company A wants to import a shipment of 2 packages, each package has weight: 50kg/bale, size: 50x40x40*/bale. Thus, we have the following calculation:
- Actual weight (AW) is 2×50 = 100kg.
- Volume weight (DW) is 2x (50x40x40)/6000 = 26.67kg.
It can be seen that the volumetric weight is smaller than the actual volume, so to calculate domestic air freight rates, we take the larger volume as the actual volume to calculate.
How to calculate when actual mass is heavier than volumetric mass
Calculation formula:
Volume by volume = Cargo volume: 6000
* Note: The division of 6000 depends on the company you choose to send to. Some delivery companies will have different calculations.
Cargo volume (cubic meters) = Length x Width x Height (unit: meter)
* For example: Company B wants to transport 5 packages, each package has weight: 20kg/bale, size: 70x50x60*/bale. The calculation is as follows:
- Actual weight (AW) is 5 x 20 = 100kg
- Volumetric weight (DW) is 5 x (70 x 50 x 60) / 6000 = 175kg.
Because the volumetric weight is larger than the actual volume, the calculated weight will be based on the volumetric weight. In case the shipment has many different sizes, you will calculate the capacity of each package, then add the total and divide by 6000 to find the volume.
