Air Freight
Airport to airport and door to door air cargo, for consignments where the delivery date matters more than the freight cost.
Air freight is the option when a production line is waiting, when a shipment has missed its vessel, or when the cargo is too valuable or too perishable to spend weeks at sea.
How it works
We book capacity with the airline, prepare the air waybill and arrange the trucking to and from the airport. Cargo is screened in line with aviation security requirements before it is accepted, so the paperwork has to be right before the consignment leaves you.
What we handle
- Airline booking and air waybill issue
- Pickup, palletising and screening
- Dangerous goods documentation where applicable
- Airport handling, customs clearance and delivery
Costing
Air freight is charged on chargeable weight, which is the greater of the gross weight and the volumetric weight. Cartons that are light but bulky often cost more than the scale suggests, so send us dimensions with the weight and we will tell you which applies.
Questions about air freight
How is air freight priced?
On chargeable weight, which is the greater of the actual gross weight and the volumetric weight. Light but bulky cargo is charged on volume, so send dimensions along with the weight when you ask for a rate.
