Air Freight Export – an Explanation:

• Air freight also known as “air cargo” means sending goods by plane. This is the preferred method of transporting goods when exporting overseas to meet a short delivery date. Using a carrier, you can transport small and expensive goods by an air freight company and deliver orders quickly and efficiently. As the fastest way to export goods, air freight is generally the most expensive method for international shipping and is often reserved for expensive, delicate and small packages.

• It should be noted that air freight is different from “air courier shipping”. Fast and reliable international shipping. The ability to send goods almost anywhere in the world. Low insurance premiums when using air freight. A higher level of security and reduced risk of damage and theft in relation to goods. Less packaging required to protect goods while in transit. The ability to track the status of your cargo throughout its journey.

• The express shipping options of air freight make it a valuable option for coordinating time sensitive shipments to almost anywhere in the world. This can be particularly advantageous for smaller and mid-sized companies as it allows them to participate in international trade in an expeditious and effective manner. Shipping by air also offers the advantage of a high level of security as airport controls over cargo are tightly managed.

• Air freight parcel delivery is the transfer and shipment of goods via an air carrier, which may be charter or commercial. Such shipments travel out of commercial and passenger aviation gateways to anywhere planes can fly and land.

Purpose of Air Freight Export:

• The fastest transport alternative compared to ocean, road or rail transport. Because of its speed, air freight is especially effective for shipping goods over longer distances. Cargo airplanes generally cruise at speeds of approximately 900 kilometers per hour. Shipping your goods by air from one continent to another often takes just a few hours.

• Air freight shipments are highly reliable as airlines tend to be on top of their schedules with dependable arrival and departure times. Even a missed flight wouldn’t cause much delay as most air freight services run on daily schedules, often with hourly departures.

• Due to strict regulations and screenings in Air Freight Export, cargo receiving areas and air terminals are highly monitored and secure, limiting the risk of theft or damage. Additionally, there is minimal handling and less time required for transit.
