Air freight from India.
Air freight costs several times what ocean costs, and sometimes it is still the cheapest decision you make that month — when a production line is idle, a season is closing, or a penalty clause is counting down. We book next-flight-out, consolidated services and charters from Ahmedabad, Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru.
Next flight out
Booked onto the first available departure, hand-carried through handling. For line-down emergencies and AOG parts.
24–48 h
Express consolidated
Your cargo joins our consolidation on a scheduled service. Materially cheaper than NFO, still fast.
3–5 d
Economy consolidated
Deferred routing with more transhipment. The sensible middle ground between air and sea.
6–9 d
Charter
Full or part charter for outsize pieces, project deadlines or volumes no scheduled service can absorb.
On request
Pharmaceuticals
Temperature-controlled containers and active cool chain, with excursion monitoring and documentation that stands up to an audit.
Perishables
Fresh produce, flowers and food — cold chain from packhouse to arrival, with phytosanitary paperwork handled before the truck leaves.
Dangerous goods
IATA DGR classification, packing checks, declarations and labelling. Get this wrong and the shipment is offloaded — we check before it ships.
High-value cargo
Electronics, instruments and jewellery with secure handling, restricted access storage and all-risk cover arranged on request.
Oversize pieces
Cargo beyond standard door dimensions routed onto freighters, with load plans checked against aircraft limits before booking.
Door to door
Pickup, export clearance, flight, import clearance and final delivery on one waybill and one invoice.
When air genuinely pays
- The cargo value is high relative to its weight — the freight premium is a small share of goods value
- A production line, retail launch or contract penalty is worth more than the rate difference
- Shelf life is short — pharma, fresh produce, seasonal fashion
- You need one urgent part now and the rest can follow by sea
When to think again
- Low-value, high-volume goods where freight would exceed the margin
- The deadline is soft and a rail or express ocean option would still land in time
- Only part of the shipment is urgent — split it and fly the critical portion only
- Poor packing is inflating volumetric weight and can be fixed instead
We will say so if air is the wrong answer for your shipment, even though the ocean booking earns us less.
