Express Courier
Large transport company, usually operating on a continental or global level, whose typical service is the “door to door” transportation of parcels and small packages. The recent evolution of the activities of these companies has extended their operations in increasingly important sectors of the postal services and integrated logistics services, where it is essential to have information on the position of goods, sometimes in real time, especially for JIT management. This activity is normally carried out by integrating local services, carried out by road, with international and intercontinental services, which use their own fleet of aircraft.
