What is Air Freight?

Air freight is the transportation of goods by aircraft. This can be done either by chartered flight or by using the cargo capacity of an airline. It is generally the fastest option for freight transportation, but it is also the most expensive.

The main advantage is its speed. Goods can be transported from one end of the world to another in a matter of days, as opposed to weeks or months by sea freight. This makes air transportation an attractive option for businesses that need to move products quickly, that are time-sensitive or perishable.

The main disadvantage on the other hand is its cost. Shipping goods by air is generally more expensive than shipping them by sea due to high fuel costs.

FAQs

How long does it take to deliver Air Cargo?

The time it takes to deliver air cargo depends on the destination. Generally, air cargo is delivered more quickly than ground transportation. To find out how long it will take to air freight your goods, please contact us with the details of your shipment.

What are main types of Air Cargo?

There are three main types of air cargo: express, general, perishable and dangerous.

  • Express/ Time Critical Air Cargo – Express air cargo is the fastest and most expensive type. It is used for shipments that need to be delivered quickly and require a high level of security.
  • General Air Cargo – General air Cargo is used for shipments that do not need to be delivered quickly and do not require a high level of security.
  • Perishable Air Cargo – Perishable air cargo is used for shipments that need to be kept at a certain temperature, such as food or flowers.
  • Dangerous Cargo – Dangerous cargo is any type of shipment that may be harmful to people, animals, or the environment. This type of cargo requires special handling and packaging.

What is the difference between Air Freight and Air Cargo?

Air Freight is the term used when shipping goods by air. Air cargo, on the other hand, refers to the actual shipment that is delivered through the aircraft.

Air cargo can be either chartered or scheduled. Chartered cargo is flown on a specifically commissioned flight, while scheduled cargo uses the regular cargo capacity of an airline.

How much does Air Freight cost?

Air freight services provide significant advantages in terms of time and cost for the transportation of goods.

Our prices are very competitive; with connections all around the world. We will make sure your goods will travel by the fastest and most economical route to your destination.

To find out how much it will cost to air freight your goods, please contact us with the details of your shipment.

What Is CBM and how do you calculate it?

CBM is the abbreviation for “cubic meters.” It is a unit of measurement used to calculate the volume of cargo. To calculate the CBM of your shipment, you need to know the dimensions of the cargo in meters.

Cargo Length x Width x Height = CBM

provide an example, let’ say you have a box 2 meters long, 2 meters wide and 2 meters high. Based on these information we know that volume is 2 x 2 x 2 = 8 m³.

If you need to ship three boxes, the total CBM of your cargo would be 8 m³ x 3 = 24 m³.

What is chargeable weight and how to calculate it?

Chargeable weight in air freight is a critical calculation that helps determine shipping costs. It is based on the greater of two factors: the actual weight of the cargo or its volumetric (dimensional) weight. This approach addresses the relationship between the cargo’s space and weight. For instance, you might have a shipment that isn’t very large but is extremely heavy.

In such cases, the actual weight could exceed the volumetric weight, significantly impacting the capacity of an aircraft. This method ensures that carriers can manage payloads efficiently and maintain profitability, as very heavy but compact items would otherwise cost the same to transport as lighter, bulkier items. Understanding how to calculate and optimize chargeable weight can help you plan more cost-effective shipments and avoid unexpected freight charges.
