SVC / AIR
Air Freight for Time-Sensitive Cargo
When the schedule can't slip, air freight moves your cargo in days, not weeks, with the handling that high-value shipments demand.
OVERVIEW
About our air freight service
Some shipments can't wait for a sailing. Production-line parts, urgent replenishment, high-value goods and launch-critical stock all justify the speed of air cargo, and Dubai's position between Asia, Europe and Africa makes it one of the world's strongest air freight hubs to ship through.
Frequent Shipping arranges air freight through established airlines and consolidators, balancing speed, routing and cost for each consignment. From airport-to-airport moves to fully coordinated door-to-door delivery, one team manages the shipment end to end.
When air freight is the right call
- Urgent production-line and machine parts
- High-value goods and electronics
- Time-critical commercial samples
- Seasonal or launch-critical stock
- Documents and small urgent consignments

FAQ / COMMON QUESTIONS
Air Freight questions, answered
How fast is air freight compared to sea freight?
Air freight typically moves cargo in days, while comparable sea freight lanes take weeks. The exact difference depends on routing, connections and customs at both ends. We confirm expected timing when we quote your specific shipment.
Is air freight only for large shipments?
No. Air freight suits everything from small urgent consignments to full pallet loads. Pricing is based on the higher of actual and volumetric weight, so we help you assess whether air is economical for your cargo.
Can you arrange door-to-door air freight?
Yes. We coordinate pickup at origin, export handling, uplift, arrival clearance guidance and final delivery as one managed move.
