What is air freight?

Air freight refers to the transport of goods by special cargo aircraft or in the hold of passenger aircraft. Air freight offers unbeatable speed and security, especially for urgent deliveries. Air freight is also often superior to other transport routes in terms of reliability. While sea freight is a cost-effective solution for larger quantities of goods without time pressure, air freight is the first choice when it comes to urgent or sensitive goods.

Advantages of air freight

Speed

No other mode of transport can get your goods to their destination faster than the aeroplane. Air freight is essential, especially for transactions that require prompt delivery. It makes it possible to bridge even large geographical distances in the shortest possible time. This is particularly important for perishable goods, such as food or medical products, as well as goods with time-critical delivery conditions. Regardless of whether your goods are being delivered to North, Central or South Africa

Security

Air freight is characterised by high security standards. Airports have strict security controls in place to prevent theft and smuggling. In addition, the likelihood of damage during transport is low, as the freight is generally subjected to fewer reloading processes than with other modes of transport.

reliability

Thanks to fixed flight schedules and short journey times, air freight offers a high level of reliability. While sea transport can be affected by port capacity, air freight ensures your goods are delivered on time. This can help keep stock levels low and the supply chain efficient.

Global market

Air freight gives you access to global markets. It enables you to transport your goods to almost anywhere in the world. Especially for the African continent, which is often characterised by infrastructures with limited access, air freight offers an efficient and targeted solution.

Simple shipment tracking

Modern technologies and systems make air freight shipment tracking particularly simple and transparent. You can call up the exact location and status of your goods at any time.

These advantages make air freight the ideal choice for a wide range of transport requirements, especially when it comes to prompt and speedy shipping between Germany and Africa.
