Air Freight The Fastest Option

Air freight also known as Air Cargo, is a mode of transport used to transport cargo by air. Air freight is the most valuable form of transport for shipping and transporting goods in the fastest time around the world. Air Cargo is shipped through the same gateway as passenger or commercial airlines.

There are two types of Air Cargo:

General Cargo: This type of cargo contains high-value cargo like Pharmaceuticals, jewellery and electronics

Special Cargo: Preferred type of transporting under special conditions such as temperature control, air conditions and special casing in case of hazardous goods or livestock.

DID YOU KNOW: The first cargo flight took place on 7th Novemeber, 1910 in the USA between Dayton and Columbus, Ohio. The cargo carried 200 pounds of silk.

Benefits of Air Freight:

• TIME: Transporting goods with airfreight saves time as it is much faster than shipping, rail or road transport.
• RELIABLE: Flights generally have reliable arrival and departure times with very few delays, so the shipment of cargo is very likely to arrive on time.
• SECURE: The shipment of cargo by air is tightly managed by security, so the chance of cargo being stolen or damaged is low
• LESS WAREHOUSING REQUIREMENTS: The clearance time for air freights is fast and there is generally less stock to unload which makes clearance fast resulting in less warehousing requirements.
