When to choose air freight?
In some cases, it may not be clear which means of transportation is best for your freight. In fact, there are a lot of different ways such as: road transport, sea transport or train transport. In most cases, we recommend using air freight only when there are urgent shipments or when the size of the cargo is exceptionally small. Air freight is known as the most costly form of transportation. While air freight can take your goods across vast distances in a matter of hours, the same is not true of containerized sea transport, which often takes weeks to reach its destination. Air freight to China, for example, can be shipped and received within a few days. While it takes 30-45 days for ocean freight from Rotterdam to arrive in China.
What is the cost of shipping air freight?
Estimating the cost of air freight is difficult because several factors affect the final pricing. Typically, airlines charge fares based on both the weight and volume of goods.
In addition, distance plays a significant role in the cost calculation. In general, shorter distances are cheaper. In some situations, it may be advantageous to transport a portion of the shipment by road rather than entirely by air. This allows us to have fast delivery while saving costs by not shipping all goods by air. Moreover, the cost also depends on the type of goods you want to transport. Some goods require special packaging or handling techniques, which can affect costs.
If you want to know the cost of air freight, contact us and we will provide you with an accurate quote. Our air transport specialist Jacob is happy to assist you and answer all your questions. That way, we can give you a clear understanding of the expected costs and possibly help you send the transport as efficiently as possible.

Dimensions of goods air transport
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) provides guidelines for packing and labeling shipments for air transport. According to IATA, the maximum dimensions for a standard piece of air cargo cargo are often 400 cm (length) x 300 cm (width) x 254 cm (height). Dimensions may vary by carrier, so it is always a good idea to contact us. This is how we can best serve you.
