Coach Shipping Route Air Freight is a much more expensive route than ocean freight. Though, it is the quickest route for the importing/exporting process. There are many options for Air Freight; Boeing 707, Douglas DC-8, IIyushin 11-76, and Douglas DC-3. The Boeing 747-400 is the most common that’s used for air cargo carriers. It’s able to hold around 26,000 feet of freight and/or cargo.
Coach ships garments, bags, accessories, by boat, and it is most recommended to use a dry storage container.
