International air freight is the fastest way to transport cargo. That is why air transport is especially useful when time is of the essence. Delivery of cargo even from the other end of the world takes no more than three or four days. Apart from the fact that the cost of air transport is higher compared to other means, it is irreplaceable when we are talking about urgent delivery over longer distances. Air cargo can also weigh more than is possible, for example, in the case of road transport.

The carriage of goods by air is regulated by the Warsaw Convention.

Why is it profitable to choose air transport?

Cargo air transport is one of the more expensive options for delivering goods around the world. So why should you choose it?

Short transit time

The best-known advantage of air freight is the short transit time. Air freight is the best option when the client requires fast delivery of the goods. It’s one of the fastest options available when the distance between the starting point and the destination is huge and the time to complete the order is very short. For example, air transport from China to Poland can be made in 2-3 days – no other form of transport will provide us with such results.

Highest punctuality

It is also the solution that is characterized by the greatest punctuality – road transport depends on road conditions, sea transport often depends on the weather. Air transport is at the top of the list when it comes to timely delivery of goods, regardless of the destination.

Very safe delivery

The delivery of air cargo is also very safe. In air freight, the transhipment points of goods are smaller compared to sea and road freight, which reduces the risk of loss, theft or damage to the cargo. Also, given that airports have strict security standards, air freight is a safer option for freight transport.

Lower costs of storage and warehousing of goods

International air freight also allows for lower costs of storage and warehousing of goods. As it facilitates faster logistics, there is no longer a need to store a large amount of inventory. Any stock can be replenished within 2-3 days depending on the goods. Therefore, air freight can help reduce warehousing costs at your destination.
