Air freight remains the fastest way to move cargo across international borders, and choosing the right air cargo partner can be the difference between a shipment that clears customs smoothly and one that gets stuck in transit. Here's a closer look at how air freight works, what it costs, and what to expect when shipping with BLC.
Air freight refers to the transportation of goods by aircraft, typically used when speed matters more than cost. Unlike sea freight, which can take weeks, air cargo moves shipments in a matter of days — making it the preferred mode for time-sensitive, high-value, or perishable goods. An air freight forwarder like BLC handles the entire process: booking cargo space with airlines, preparing shipping documentation, coordinating airport handling, and managing customs clearance on both ends of the journey.
For businesses shipping across borders, international air freight involves more than just booking a flight for your cargo. It requires coordination between multiple parties — cargo airlines, customs authorities, airport handling agents, and last-mile transporters — to keep a shipment moving without delays. BLC's air freight forwarding services cover international cargo shipping end-to-end, from export documentation at origin to import clearance and delivery at destination.
Airport cargo services cover everything that happens between a shipment arriving at the airport and it being loaded onto an aircraft (or the reverse, on arrival): screening, documentation checks, consolidation, and ground handling. BLC coordinates this on your behalf, and handles dangerous goods, perishable and exhibition cargo, each of which has its own documentation and handling requirements. For smaller, time-critical parcels, our team can also advise whether air cargo or an express courier is the better fit.
Air cargo price is typically calculated using whichever is higher: the actual weight of the shipment, or its dimensional (volumetric) weight, which accounts for how much space the cargo occupies on the aircraft. Air cargo rates and price per kg also vary based on the destination, cargo type (general, perishable, or dangerous goods), fuel surcharges, and how far in advance the booking is made. Because air freight logistics pricing changes with route and cargo specifics, BLC provides a transparent, shipment-specific quote rather than a flat rate — get in touch for current air cargo rates on your route.
