1. Faster
Air Freight is usually more efficient when it comes to transporting a product from the factory or warehouse to a specific destination within a few hours.
2.More Reliable
Opting for this mode of transport avoids constraints such as closure and/or congestion of ports. Furthermore, since air traffic is meticulously regulated, the scheduled departure and arrival times are highly reliable.
3. Safer
Advances in digitalization have driven the development of Air Cargo tracking services, increasing the level of security and traceability of the most fragile and/ or high value cargo.
4. More Protected
When in transit, speed and other factors make it impossible to manipulate or access the goods on board, which are fully protected against theft and/or vandalism. In addition, cargo transported by air is less handled than other types of transport.
5. More Flexible
Unlike other types of transport, which cargo must be packed and prepared in advance, airfreight sometimes allows last-minute changes. This allows customers to respond in real time to any unforeseen situations that may arise. This allows customers to respond in real time to any unforeseen situations that may arise.
For Instance:
A company wants to send some goods to a warehouse or a point of sale. However, they have checked that they should send less goods because they have sold less than they had originally planned. In this case you can choose to send the goods to a different destination,where they may be most needed. This flexibility would not be possible with modes of transport such as sea or rail freight, whose goods remain in transit for longer periods of time and it is not possible to remove cargo or change the destination.
6. More Adaptable
Capable of handling smaller loads, it is ideal for small and medium sized businesses with a global reach. For those wishing to ship oversized, dangerous, perishable and/or fragile goods, there is also the option of chartering an entire aircraft.
