Air Freight

Freight Planning: Determine the type and quantity of goods you want to ship by air. Consider the weight, dimensions, and any special handling requirements. Plan your shipment schedule and identify the origin and destination airports.

Freight Forwarders: Consider working with a freight forwarding company that specializes in air freight. Freight forwarders can assist with documentation, customs clearance, and coordinating the logistics of your air shipment.

Airline Selection: Choose an airline or air cargo carrier that offers suitable routes and services for your freight. Evaluate factors such as cost, transit time, network coverage, and reliability. Some airlines have specialized cargo divisions that handle freight shipments.

Packaging and Labeling: Package your freight securely to withstand air transportation. Follow industry standards for packaging and labeling, ensuring proper handling, identification, and protection of your goods. Consider any specific requirements of the airline or destination country.

Documentation: Prepare the necessary documentation for your air freight shipment, including a airway bill (AWB), commercial invoice, packing list, and any applicable customs forms or permits. Ensure that all documentation is accurate and complete.

Customs Clearance: Work with your freight forwarder or customs broker to ensure smooth customs clearance at both the departure and destination airports. Provide all required customs documentation and comply with import/export regulations and procedures.

Tracking and Monitoring: Utilize tracking systems provided by the airline or freight forwarder to monitor the status and location of your air freight shipment in real-time. Stay informed about any delays or changes to the estimated arrival time.

Ground Transportation: Coordinate ground transportation for the pickup and delivery of your air freight. This may involve arranging for local trucking services or using intermodal transportation to seamlessly connect air and ground logistics.
