Overview

Air freight is chosen for speed, so waiting on updates defeats the point. We confirm flight bookings, track handovers at both airports and show every status change on your shipment timeline.

Dimensions drive air pricing, so the quote shows how volumetric weight is calculated. If something needs freighter capacity or a dangerous-goods review, we tell you up front.

Use cases

    Electronics, samples and pharmaceuticals with secure handling options.

FAQs

Air freight questions

See all FAQs

How is air freight priced?

Per chargeable kilogram — the greater of actual weight and volumetric weight (length × width × height in cm ÷ 6,000) — plus fuel and security surcharges.

Can you ship lithium batteries by air?

Often, yes, but they need a compliance check and the right packaging and labels. Mention batteries in your quote request and our team will guide you.

What is the size limit?

Pieces taller than about 160 cm or longer than 300 cm usually need freighter aircraft. We will confirm options when you request a quote.
