The number of goods being transported measures the cost of an air charter service. However, the existence of physical means (transport) along your ideal path has a considerable effect. Moving goods from China, for example, is much less expensive than transporting them there. It is because shipowners are in high demand to carry freight from China to Europe, although doing so is more complicated.
