FAQ
Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers
What is the maximum weight for air freight shipments?
There’s no absolute maximum weight limit for air freight, but practical limitations exist based on aircraft capacity. Most commercial flights can handle shipments up to 100 tons, while specialized cargo aircraft can accommodate even larger loads. For very heavy shipments, we may recommend breaking them into multiple consignments or using charter services.
How do you handle temperature-sensitive cargo?
We offer specialized temperature-controlled solutions for sensitive cargo. This includes pharmaceutical-grade containers, dry ice packaging, temperature-controlled storage facilities at transit points, and priority handling to minimize exposure to ambient temperatures. We also provide real-time temperature monitoring throughout the journey.
What documentation is required for international air freight?
Required documentation typically includes: Air Waybill (AWB), Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Certificate of Origin, Customs Declaration Forms, and any product-specific certifications. For dangerous goods, additional documentation is required according to IATA regulations. Our team assists with preparing and verifying all necessary paperwork.
How is air freight pricing calculated?
Air freight pricing is based on either volumetric weight (dimensional weight) or actual weight, whichever is greater. Additional factors affecting pricing include distance, service type (express vs. standard), handling requirements, and current fuel surcharges. For regular shipments, we can establish contracted rates to help you manage costs.
Can you ship dangerous goods via air freight?
Yes, we can transport many types of dangerous goods via air freight, subject to strict compliance with IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations. This requires proper classification, packaging, labeling, and documentation. Some highly hazardous materials may be prohibited or restricted. Our dangerous goods specialists can guide you through the requirements.
