Service

Air Freight

Time-critical and high-value cargo flown out of Dubai International (DXB) and Al Maktoum (DWC), with door pickup and clearance.

Overview

When a production line is waiting or a client deadline cannot move, air freight closes the gap. Dubai is one of the world’s best-connected cargo hubs, and we book space with airlines and consolidators flying from DXB and DWC.

We handle the details that delay air shipments: correct chargeable-weight calculation, airway bill data, packaging and labelling checks, and the export declaration.

What’s included

  • Airport-to-airport and door-to-door

    Pickup in the UAE, export handling, and delivery at destination through partner agents.

  • Consolidated and direct services

    Choose a consolidation for lower cost or a direct airline booking for the fastest routing.

  • Airway bill preparation

    House and master AWB data prepared accurately to avoid holds at the terminal.

  • Dangerous goods screening

    We check whether your cargo needs DG declaration or special handling before booking.

  • Import air freight

    Inbound cargo to Dubai cleared and delivered to your door.

  • Sea–air options

    Combine ocean and air legs through Dubai to balance speed and cost.

Air Freight FAQs

How is air freight charged?

Airlines charge on chargeable weight — the higher of the actual gross weight and the volumetric weight. Volumetric weight is commonly calculated as length × width × height in centimetres divided by 6,000.

Can you ship dangerous goods by air?

Some dangerous goods can be flown when they are correctly classified, packed, labelled and declared. Send us the safety data sheet (SDS) and we will confirm whether the item is acceptable and on which airlines.
