When your air shipment is split, your cargo does not arrive on a single flight, but is instead distributed among two or more flights. This is more likely to happen with a large shipment.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
A split shipment means that\u00a0cargo moving via air\u00a0does not arrive on a single flight, but is instead distributed among two or more flights.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Split shipments happen because loading a flight is an exercise in precision: Each flight requires a specific load plan, taking into account the\u00a0weight\u00a0and positioning of all of the cargo on board, as well as passengers and passengers’ luggage. The airline loads a mixture of smaller, heavier (dense) cargo and larger, light (volumetric) cargo to achieve the optimal flight balance.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
With these factors in mind, the airline may split a shipment in order to plan a safe flight. This is more likely to happen with a large shipment.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
If your shipment is split, your Flexport team will keep you posted on any changes (if applicable) to arrival\/delivery dates.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
