Why should my business choose air freight over other shipping methods?

How do you know your tracking is accurate?

Our in-app cargo tracker utilises data from our global partners, OneStop, SeaRoutes, Marine Traffic and Vizion to provide up to the minute updates.
How can air freight help in managing inventory levels?
Air freight's faster transit times allow for tighter control over inventory levels, reducing the need for excess stock and providing a more responsive supply chain.
Are there restrictions on the type of cargo suitable for air freight?
While most goods can be transported via air freight, certain hazardous materials or oversized cargo may have restrictions. It's crucial to consult with your freight forwarder regarding specific cargo types.
Can air freight be cost-effective for my business?
While air freight may have higher upfront costs than sea or land transport, its speed and efficiency can lead to cost savings in terms of reduced inventory holding, quicker order fulfillment, and minimised supply chain disruptions.
