Similarly, air freight destined for the South Island departs from Wellington, embarking on a freighter service from Auckland to Dunedin. In cases where air freight is required to reach Queenstown from Wellington, the route takes it via Auckland, culminating in an arrival at Queenstown around mid-day.

Cost Of Air Freight
Understanding Volumetric Weight Calculation for Air Freight
In air freight, charges are based on the actual weight of the goods or the volumetric weight, whichever is greater. This means that even if a ton of feathers weighs the same as a ton of bricks, the feathers would occupy more space in the cargo hold and be charged based on their volumetric weight. Calculating the volumetric weight of your shipment is simple:
Volumetric Weight Formula: Length x Width x Height x 200
By applying the above formula, you can determine the volumetric weight of your cargo. The charges will be calculated based on whichever weight is greater—either the volumetric weight or the actual weight of the goods.
Preparing Air Freight
Ensuring Smooth and Secure Air Freight with CargoMaster
Properly preparing your air freight before submitting it for transportation is vital to guarantee a seamless and secure journey with CargoMaster. To facilitate efficient handling and protect your cargo from damage, it is crucial to have a clear understanding of the type of products you are shipping. Keep the following guidelines in mind to achieve optimal efficiency and maintain the integrity of your air cargo:
Understanding Air Freight Hazards
- Avoid inadequate packaging that may result in shifting and punctures.
- Insufficient packaging leaves your cargo vulnerable to punctures and other forms of damage.
- Protect your contents from compression forces generated during stacking, shocks, vibrations, or tie-down procedures.
- Proper packaging must withstand drops and impacts encountered during handling operations.
Recommended Packaging Materials for Air Freight Shipments
- Corrugated Fiberboard Boxes
- Utilise robust boxes to prevent compression near the edges.
- Take into account the potential strength degradation over time, particularly in high-humidity environments.
- Consider using single-use packages, as they may not be durable enough for multiple trips.
Wood Packaging for Air Freight
- Enhance strength by incorporating interlocking corners and diagonal braces.
- Avoid placing fasteners in the end grain of wood to maintain resistance.
- Restrict knots to a maximum of 30% of the surface area and refrain from positioning fasteners within knots.
Air Freight Pallets
- Select pallets that can accommodate shipments without overhang.
- Avoid using damaged pallets or those with protruding fasteners.
- Ensure that pallets possess a sufficient floor-bearing load capacity.
By adhering to these guidelines and employing proper cushioning techniques, you can ensure the safety and security of your international shipments when utilizing CargoMaster’s air freight services.

The international community has established a classification system for easy identification of dangerous goods. These goods fall into nine primary classes, and some classes are further divided to address specific risks. Each class/division has a corresponding label that accurately represents the nature of the hazard. These labels must be attached to the package during transport and remain intact throughout the journey. Take a look at the illustrated examples below to understand how these labels effectively communicate the potential dangers.
Under regulations, labels must be clearly visible on the outside of the package and must stay on the package while in transit.
You can often find labels printed on most inner packages such as:
- aerosol cans
- bottles of bleach
- containers of thinners
- tins of paint
- many other products which are available at supermarkets and hardware stores.
Below are the 9 hazard labels for the 9 classes of dangerous goods.

- butane
- propane
- Division 2.2 – non-flammable, non-toxic gases such as:
- oxygen
- liquid nitrogen
- compressed air
- Division 2.3 – toxic gases such as:

Cyrogenics
This label is used on liquefied gases, such as the ones in Class 2.
This way up
This label ensures a load is placed the correct way up and can be used for non-dangerous goods.
