We offer door-to-door and door-to-airport services to over 800 hundred cities in major markets across the globe, specialising in time-sensitive shipments.
Our lead times? 72-hour arrival at destination airport with Express Service, 3-5 days with Standard Service. This makes air freight, by far the fastest way to transport your goods no matter where the pick-up and drop-off points are. This service is essential when time is of the essence and the delivery is urgent.
If you are looking to transport your goods in a fast and reliable way, air freight is the way to go. Another advantage which goes hand in hand with this specific type of service is that the goods are handled fewer times than in any other type of freight solution. This makes air freight the go-to way of transporting goods which are delicate such as electronic components, spare parts etc…
Whether you are interested in importing or exporting products, we can cater to your needs. If you are importing goods, we can handle customs clearance as well as the delivery. If on the other hand, you are seeking to export your goods, at Jet Freight we can handle the customs clearance, pick-up and dispatch too.
Where air freight is concerned, we can also offer customised solutions. If you have oversized cargo to import, we can organise the first leg by air and the second leg by sea. If your aim is that of exporting goods, we can organise the first leg by sea and the second leg by air.
At Jet Freight we also offer passive temperature control shipments by air for both import and export.
There are three considerations you should have in mind to determine when you might not want to ship by air:
Since air cargo rates are prohibitively expensive, it’s usually limited to smaller, high-value goods or time-sensitive items, such as:
Beyond the air freight, which is calculated based on the cost above, the air freight price will also likely include:
In addition, for door-to-door costs, the price will also include air cargo services, including:
International air freight usage is growing slowly, with less than 1% growth in 2015 among the world’s top freight forwarders, according to Transport Intelligence. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) said that air freight growth only hit 2.2% in 2015, down from 5% in 2014. One reason for this is increased reliance on ocean freight, which is growing more and more reliable.
Ocean freight has been getting cheaper, driven by massive ocean freight overcapacity, with up to 75% declines on key routes. On the other hand, air passenger travel has grown strongly, pushing carriers to create more and more planes. As a result, there’s more belly cargo space – space under the place to store air freight. However, this means that less than half of air freight capacity is being used.
The result for air cargo shipments is that most companies that need to import do everything in their power to take advantage of cheap ocean freight quotes, leaving only the most urgent shipments for air.
