AIR FREIGHT FORWARDING
Air freight refers to the delivery of cargo via an air carrier for charter or commercial purposes. With express forwarding options, air freight is ideal for transporting cargo quickly to almost anywhere in the world.
Trade Ocean has accreditation with customs, as well as accounts with all of the major national and international airports. This ensures quick and efficient customs clearance and freight forwarding, as well as the delivery of air freight cargo at reasonable rates.
There are three main categories of air freight:
- Freight that travels on passenger airlines
- Freight that travels on dedicated cargo planes
- Large scale freight that requires transport in super cargo planes
No matter the size of your cargo, our air freight forwarders will ship your goods to their intended destination.
