When is door-to-door air freight the right choice?
If the most important criteria for your shipments are time-criticality, safety, or if the products are valuable or easily perishable, air freight is often the best option. Typical examples include spare parts for production lines, fresh food, electronics, and luxury products. Minimizing the risk of delivery delays and maximizing delivery reliability can directly impact your company's business cash flow and customer satisfaction.
Pricing: How much does air freight cost?
The base price of air freight is mainly determined by the shipment's weight, volume, and route, as well as the market and fuel situation. Calculated weight (chargeable weight) is often used as a solution.
In addition, the price is affected by possible scheduling urgency or specific schedule requests, potential special transport batches, or other desired services.
