Air Freight
Services We Offer
Express Air Freight: This is the fastest option available for shipping goods by air. It is ideal for time-sensitive shipments that need to reach their destination as quickly as possible. Express service often includes expedited handling and delivery.
Standard Air Freight: A more economical option compared to express air freight, standard air freight offers a balance between cost and speed. It is suitable for less time-sensitive shipments and is commonly used for regular, scheduled deliveries.
Deferred Air Freight: This service offers lower rates by allowing shipments to be deferred to flights with available capacity. It is slower but more cost-effective, suitable for very large shipments or for businesses looking to save on shipping costs where delivery time is flexible.
Chartered Air Freight: For extremely urgent or high-value shipments, or when no scheduled flights meet specific shipping requirements, chartered air freight is available. This involves renting an entire aircraft to transport goods directly to the destination without any stops or transfers.
Consolidated Air Freight: This is a cost-effective option where a freight forwarder consolidates multiple shipments from various shippers into one lot and then ships them as a single unit. This method reduces shipping costs and is ideal for shippers with smaller loads that don’t require a full cargo hold.
Specialized Air Freight Services: These services cater to specific types of goods that require special handling, such as perishable items, dangerous goods, valuable and high-security items, or oversized and heavy cargo. Special arrangements and equipment are used to ensure these goods are transported safely.
