Why shippers choose it
Days rather than weeks, on virtually any lane in the world.
Fewer days in transit and fewer handling points than any ocean routing.
Faster transit means less cash tied up in goods on the move.
When a penalty clause or stopped line is the alternative, the freight premium is the smaller number.

What people get wrong
Three assumptions that cost shippers money — and what's actually true.
Air freight is always too expensive.
Compare it to the real alternative — a stopped production line, a missed season or an LC expiry. Air freight is frequently the cheaper outcome.
You are billed on what the cargo weighs.
You are billed on actual or volumetric weight, whichever is greater. Light, bulky cargo is charged on the space it occupies.
Air means door-to-door in 24 hours.
The flight is fast; screening, customs and road legs at both ends are not instant. We quote a realistic door-to-door time.
