Air Freight Forwarding
Air freight forwarding is different from express by air in several aspects. Considering the cost, in most cases, choosing air freight for your cargo is more suitable than choosing express by air if it’s above 45 KGS. In modern air delivery, from the place of departure to the place of destination, goods shippers generally have much higher requirements for time and efficiency than ever before. Hence, to better fulfill different shippers’ commitments on a larger scale, a capable air freighter needs to organize a more efficient air transportation network than ever before.

Lower Than Express
Express uses higher volumetric weight rates than air shipping and includes additional fees for speed, tracking and service gurantees. For air shipping, more goods means less shipping cost, much more prominently than express
Air freight has a more simple logic than express
Lower Than Express Again
Weight / Volume: Air shipping is ideal for cargos above 45 kg but less than 500 kg (cost-effective compared to express for large volumes). Cost calculating and comparison is very important before choosing shipping way
