No, FOB cannot be used for air freight. FOB delivery happens on board a vessel, so it has no delivery point at an airport. Use FCA for buyer-arranged air freight, or CPT or CIP where the seller arranges the flight.
No, FAS cannot be used for air freight. FAS is a sea and inland waterway rule, so it has no delivery point at an airport. Use FCA for buyer-arranged air freight, or CPT or CIP where the seller arranges the flight.
FCA for air freight: when airport handover and courier delivery fit, what the air waybill proves, and when CPT, CIP or DAP is the better term.
Yes, EXW can be used for air freight, but it is often the wrong fit: the buyer must arrange export clearance, airport delivery and the flight from a country where they may have no local presence. FCA at the departure airport usually gives the same buyer control with the seller handling export clearance.
