In the field of charter flight transportation, there are some interesting phenomena.

For the same flight route and during the same period, when chartering the same type of aircraft, like the 747, the carrying capacity can vary. Some can carry 102 tons while others only 98 tons, with a difference of 4 tons, which can involve a significant amount of money.

There are many techniques to master here. One needs to calculate flight hours, block times, fuel fluctuation coefficients, and also be clear about the settlement and refueling locations, etc.

If one doesn’t understand loading arrangements and can’t provide Cargo Booking Advice, the staff at the freight station will handle the cargo pallets according to the regular plan. But if one knows these, under the premise of ensuring flight safety, the carrying capacity may reach 102 tons or even more.
