We deliver mail by air to 45 countries of the world, and in 2020 alone we transported 50 million kg of parcels and letters - an average of about 130 tons per day. To cope with such volumes, the Post cooperates with dozens of carriers around the world and thinks out routes so as to deliver items as inexpensively and quickly as possible.
In this article, we will tell you how the Mail's air transportation works from the inside. You will find out which route an international departure takes before getting to the client's hands, what travels on passenger flights with luggage, why we need virtual means of payment, and what amazing items are sometimes found by airport security personnel.
Why does the Post need aviation and which planes carry parcels
