Airfreight (or air cargo) is the process of transporting goods by aircraft. It’s the fastest method for moving shipments over long distances, especially internationally.
Air freight is ideal for time-sensitive, high-value, or perishable goods such as electronics, pharmaceuticals, fashion items, and urgent documents. It’s also commonly used for small parcels and samples that need fast delivery. However, there are restrictions on hazardous materials (e.g., flammable liquids, explosives), oversized cargo, and certain perishables. Special requirements may include proper packaging, labelling, and compliance with airline and international regulations for dangerous goods.
