What Is Air Freight (Air Cargo)?
Air freight, also known as air cargo, refers to the transportation of goods by aircraft. It is the fastest shipping method for international logistics, ideal for time-sensitive or high-value shipments.
Cargo is transported via commercial or chartered flights between major airports worldwide. Compared to ocean freight, air freight offers much shorter transit times, higher security, and more reliable delivery schedules—though at a higher cost.
When Is Air Freight the Right Choice?
- Air freight is typically suitable for shipments weighing from 100 kg to 500 kg+, especially when speed is critical.
- It is best used when:
You need fast delivery (urgent orders)
Your goods are high-value or sensitive
The shipment volume is too large for express, but not enough for ocean freight

FAQ
01.
What documents are usually required for air freight shipping?
Common documents for air freight include the commercial invoice, packing list, air waybill, and any customs-related documents required for the destination country. Some product categories may also need additional certificates or compliance documents.
02.
How is chargeable weight calculated for air freight?
Air freight is usually charged based on chargeable weight, which compares the actual weight and volumetric weight of the cargo. The higher value is normally used for pricing, so accurate package dimensions are important before quotation.

Batteries and electronic products may be shipped by air, but they usually require stricter documentation, packaging, and airline approval. We recommend confirming the product details in advance to avoid delays or rejection.

Yes. Besides airport-to-airport transportation, air freight can also be arranged with customs clearance and final delivery services. This is suitable for customers who need a more complete door-to-door logistics solution.
05.
What can cause delays in air freight shipments?
Air freight delays may be caused by customs inspection, flight schedule changes, incomplete documents, restricted cargo checks, weather conditions, or peak-season airport congestion. Preparing accurate cargo information can help reduce these risks.
