Air freight company
in Dubai.

Air cargo is charged on chargeable weight, which is the greater of the actual gross weight and the volumetric weight. Bulky but light cargo therefore prices on the space it occupies rather than what it weighs. Send dimensions as well as weight and we can calculate the chargeable weight before you commit.

Volumetric weight converts the space a shipment occupies into a weight figure, so that light but bulky cargo pays for the room it takes on the aircraft. Airlines apply a standard divisor to length × width × height. If volumetric weight exceeds actual weight, the shipment is charged on the volumetric figure.

Sea freight is substantially cheaper for anything heavy, bulky or non urgent. Air freight wins when the deadline cannot move, the shipment is small and high value, or the cargo is perishable. We price both when the choice is genuinely open so the decision is made on numbers.

Dubai International (DXB) carries the widest scheduled capacity and the most frequent departures. Al Maktoum International (DWC) handles freighter capacity, oversized pieces and charter. We also use Sharjah (SHJ) and Zayed International in Abu Dhabi (AUH) for economy capacity and specific carrier routings.

Next flight out means the shipment is booked onto the earliest available departure rather than waiting for a consolidation. It is the fastest air option and the most expensive, used when the cost of the delay is higher than the cost of the freight, typically AOG parts, production stoppages and medical cargo.

An air waybill is the transport document for air cargo. Unlike an ocean bill of lading it is not a document of title, so it does not control ownership of the goods. It functions as a receipt and as evidence of the contract of carriage, and the consignee named on it is who the cargo is released to.

DG can be accepted subject to IATA classification, the destination and the operating carrier, and the rules are stricter than for sea. Share the Safety Data Sheet, the UN number and the packing group. Some classes cannot travel on passenger aircraft and need a freighter, which affects both routing and cost.

Yes. Pharmaceutical and perishable cargo can move under temperature control, using active or passive packaging depending on the requirement and the lane. Tell us the temperature range and the permitted excursion window so the right solution is booked.

Consolidated air freight groups several shipments onto one master air waybill to obtain a better rate than each would achieve alone. It costs less than next flight out but adds time, because the consolidation has to be built at origin and broken down at destination.

Yes. Charter makes sense when the cargo is too large for scheduled capacity, when the volume justifies a whole aircraft, or when no scheduled service reaches the destination in the time available. We arrange charter out of DWC and DXB depending on the aircraft and the load.

AOG stands for Aircraft On Ground: an aircraft grounded pending a part. It is the most time critical category in air freight, and shipments move on the earliest possible departure with expedited handling at both ends.

Yes. We can arrange UAE pickup, export documentation, the air leg, destination customs coordination and final delivery, so one team stays responsible throughout rather than handing the shipment between parties.

Air cargo needs packaging that survives handling and stacking, and dimensions that suit aircraft loading. Palletised cargo should be stable, shrink wrapped and clearly labelled. Over-height pieces may not fit a passenger aircraft hold and can force a freighter booking, so send dimensions early.

Send the commodity, gross weight, dimensions per piece, origin address and destination airport or address. We come back with the chargeable weight, the routing options and a written all-in rate rather than a freight-only figure that grows later.

Air cargo is tracked on the air waybill number, which is issued at booking and works on the airline system from acceptance through to arrival. Air moves quickly enough that the useful updates are uplift confirmation, any transit stop and arrival, and we pass those on rather than leaving you to poll a website.

Yes. Export clearance in Dubai is prepared before the shipment is delivered to the terminal, and destination clearance is handled through our agent at the arrival airport. Air is fast enough that clearance, not flying time, is usually what decides when the cargo is actually available.

In practice they mean the same thing and are used interchangeably. If there is a distinction, air freight tends to describe the service and the charge, while air cargo describes the goods being carried. Nothing about how a shipment is handled or priced changes depending on which word is used.

Some goods are prohibited outright by air, and many more are restricted rather than banned. Anything with a safety data sheet, including lithium batteries, aerosols, paints, adhesives and compressed gases, is classified as dangerous goods and depends on the class, packing group, packaging and the individual airline. Send the safety data sheet with the enquiry and we confirm acceptance before you commit to a deadline.

A commercial invoice, a packing list, the air waybill and a UAE export declaration cover most shipments, with a certificate of origin where the destination asks for one. Dangerous goods add a shipper declaration and the safety data sheet. Pharmaceuticals, foodstuff and telecoms equipment each carry their own permit from the authority that regulates them.
