AIR FREIGHT SERVICES
Express air freight:
For time-sensitive shipments that need to arrive in less than 24 hours. Ideal for pharmaceuticals, perishables, and critical deliveries where speed is essential.
Consolidated Air Freight
Shipments from multiple customers are grouped together, providing a cost-effective solution for less time-critical freight. This service involves additional handling and transit time but offers savings on bulk shipping.
Chartered Air Freight
When you need an entire aircraft for your cargo, this service is perfect for large, heavy shipments or valuable, sensitive goods that require extra security. Chartering ensures direct flights and priority handling.
AIR FREIGHT COSTS
- Service Level: Costs vary depending on the service you choose—express, consolidated, or chartered—each offering different speeds and handling levels
- Weight & Size: Air freight is charged based on volumetric weight or physical weight, whichever is greater, so larger shipments may incur higher costs.
- Hazardous Goods: Shipments containing hazardous materials require special handling, packaging, and documentation, which can affect both cost and transit time.
- Perishable Goods: Temperature-controlled air freight services are available for goods like fresh produce, pharmaceuticals, and other items with strict storage requirements.
- Fuel Surcharges: Due to fluctuations in fuel prices, airlines may apply temporary surcharges to air freight rates.
- Security Surcharges: Valuable, sensitive, or high-risk cargo may incur additional charges for security screenings, inspections, or extra precautions, particularly on certain routes.
We ensure you get the right service at the best value, whether you’re shipping urgent, bulk, or sensitive cargo. Let us know your needs, and we’ll handle the rest.
