What is air freight?

worldsora logo

Air freight, also known as air cargo, refers to the transportation of goods by air using commercial airlines or dedicated cargo planes. It is a mode of shipping that offers fast and efficient transport of goods over long distances, both domestically and internationally. Air freight is commonly used for time-sensitive shipments, perishable items, high-value goods, and products that require fast delivery

TYPES OF AIR FREIGHT

  • GENERAL CARGO

    General cargo refers to a wide range of non-specialized goods that can be transported by air. It encompasses various types of commodities, including consumer goods, electronics, machinery, textiles, and more.Our air freight services for general cargo offer numerous advantages, such as fast transit times, efficient handling, and reliable delivery. Our airline and logistics partners utilise their extensive networks and specialised equipment to ensure the safe and secure transport of your general cargo.

  • PERISHABLE GOODS

    Perishable goods require time-sensitive, temperature-controlled transportation to maintain their freshness and quality. Air freight plays a crucial role in the transportation of perishable goods, such as fresh produce, seafood, pharmaceuticals, and more. The efficiency of air transport allows perishable goods to reach distant markets quickly, minimising the risk of spoilage. With the combination of fast transit times and strict temperature control, air freight provides a reliable solution for the global transportation of perishable goods, enabling businesses to deliver fresh products to markets around the world.

  • DANGEROUS GOODS

    Dangerous goods present unique challenges when transported by air. These goods encompass a wide range of substances that pose potential risks to health, safety, property, or the environment. Our air freight partners adhere to strict regulations and guidelines to ensure the safe transportation of dangerous goods. Experienced professionals and specialised facilities are employed to handle, store, and load these goods onto aircraft, ensuring compliance with safety protocols and minimising any potential hazards.

  • OVERSIZED & HEAVY CARGO

    Transporting oversized and heavy cargo by air freight poses challenges due to weight and size restrictions. However, specialised air freight services cater to such cargo, utilising dedicated cargo aircraft, specialised loading equipment, and meticulous planning. While air transport may have limitations compared to other modes, it offers speed and efficiency for time-sensitive shipments. Through careful coordination, route optimization, and adherence to safety regulations, oversized and heavy cargo, including machinery and industrial equipment, can be safely transported by air to meet global logistics needs.

  • VALUABLE & HIGH SECURITY CARGO

    Valuable and high-security cargo demand specialised handling and security measures in air freight. These shipments include valuable goods such as jewellery, artwork, and high-end electronics. We offer enhanced security protocols, including secure storage facilities, surveillance systems, and dedicated personnel to ensure the protection and confidentiality of these items. With strict access control, tamper-evident packaging, and real-time monitoring, air freight provides a reliable and secure solution for transporting valuable and high-security cargo.
