Certain types of cargo, such as pharmaceuticals or certain food products, are too sensitive to temperature changes and need to be transported in strict temperature-controlled (TC) conditions.Depending on the sensitivity of the cargo, airlines use two types of packaging to help keep the cargo within a specific temperature range:Passive — cargo is kept within the desired temperature range using passive refrigeration materials such as coolants and insulationActive — cargo is kept within the desired temperature range using active temperature control and refrigeration systemsThe rates on temperature-sensitive cargo in Xeneta are available under the Passive service level. Using this service level, you can monitor and benchmark your rates on TC cargo against the rest of the air freight market.Due to lower volume of cargo transported using active temperature controlled packaging, there isn't enough data to provide reliable benchmarks for active TC rates. We hope to expand our coverage and offer more TC options as we collect more data in the future.
