AIR FREIGHT SERVICES

Air freight is the fastest and safest way to ship goods across the globe. It’s an ideal solution for high value, low weight items, and for goods that are needed urgently. Because planes can fly between any airport it gives you greater flexibility. It’s a highly secure form of shipping and, for that reason, it’s often preferred when fragile goods or goods of a high value are being transported.

The air freight shipping process can seem confusing. Finding the most cost-effective and efficient air transportation for your goods as well as negotiating customs can seem like an impossible task.

Air freight is a crucial pillar of the global trade system. Every year, trillions of pounds worth of goods are transported by air and it delivers a range of benefits for companies looking to import or export goods over longer distances. It’s widely recognised as the optimal shipping option for high-value and low-volume shipments.

Air freight is the fastest transport option when goods are being moved significant distances. Shipping your goods by air from one continent to another will usually only take a few hours. This means you can have your goods delivered in a relatively short period of time.

Airlines operate on highly reliable schedules, meaning that they can provide more dependable departure and arrival times than sea freight. As most air freight services run on daily schedules, often with hourly departures, even delays in other parts of the transportation process won’t result in extra delays when it comes to air transport.

Air shipping provides high levels of security, with less handling than is the case with most sea shipping methods. This makes it a perfect option for fragile and high-value goods. Air shipments will also usually require less heavy packing compared to other shipping alternatives. The quicker transit offered by air freight reduces the need for warehousing.

Working with an air freight forwarder makes the whole process straightforward. They will manage the movement of your goods from anywhere in the world to your final destination by air freight, providing both consolidated and direct shipment options.
