FAQs
What is an air freight service?
Air freight service refers to the transportation of goods and cargo by air. It is a fast and efficient method of shipping that is often used for time-sensitive or high-value shipments. Air freight services are provided by airlines and freight forwarders, who manage the logistics of moving goods from one location to another via aircraft. This service is ideal for international shipping, as it can cover long distances quickly and connect remote locations that might not be easily accessible by other means of transport.
