Operational strengths
Dimensions and weights checked before booking, so the chargeable weight on the invoice is the one you were quoted. Paperwork prepared in advance, because an air shipment held for documentation loses the time you paid for.
Air freight
Air Freight Services in UAE
Time-definite air cargo services backed by airline networks, for consignments where the delivery date is the constraint rather than the cost.
What we offer
Air freight, arranged end to end
Air freight earns its cost when time is the binding constraint — a production line waiting on a part, a seasonal launch, a perishable or high-value consignment.
We book the capacity through airline networks, prepare the documentation, and arrange customs clearance so the shipment is not held up on the ground at either end. Because we also handle sea and road freight, we will tell you honestly when air is not the right answer, and quote the alternative alongside it.
Airline network capacity
Space booked through airline networks for the routing and timing your consignment needs.
Documentation
Air waybill, commercial invoice and packing list prepared and checked before the shipment moves.
Customs clearance
Clearance arranged alongside the booking rather than left for you to coordinate separately.
Collection and delivery
Road legs at both ends so the quote covers the door-to-door movement, not just the flight.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
The questions we are asked most often about this service.
Air freight is charged on whichever is greater: the actual gross weight of the shipment, or its volumetric weight calculated from the dimensions. Light but bulky cargo is therefore usually charged on volume rather than actual weight, which is why accurate dimensions matter as much as the weight when you ask for a quote.
Air freight suits cargo where the delivery date is the binding constraint, where the goods are high value relative to their weight, or where they are perishable or seasonal. Sea freight is normally more economical for large volumes and heavy consignments that are not time critical. For many shipments the sensible answer is a mix, and we will set out both options with their trade-offs.
An air shipment normally travels against an air waybill, together with a commercial invoice and a packing list. Depending on the commodity and the destination you may also need a certificate of origin, licences or permits, and declarations specific to the goods. We confirm the exact set for your shipment before booking.
Yes. Customs clearance is one of our core services and is arranged alongside the air booking, so the documentation and the clearance are handled together rather than left to you to coordinate separately.
