Air Freight Knowledge

Which goods are more suitable for air freight?

Understanding when to choose air freight helps optimize supply chain rhythm and enable better decisions in terms of overall cost. Below are key features and typical application scenarios to help you make a quick judgment.

Key characteristics of air transport

Fast

Air freight is typically 5–6 times faster than sea freight, making it suitable for tight deadlines, urgent orders, and JIT (Just-In-Time) inventory management. Depending on the destination and flight schedule, the overall transit time is generally around 1–5 days.

High security

Air freight has stricter security checks and fewer handling steps, making it more suitable for high-value goods. Goods are in a more controllable environment during transport, reducing the risk of damage, loss, and other abnormalities.

Stable delivery time

Flight schedules are relatively fixed and delivery times are predictable, making them suitable for supply chains with strict delivery time requirements. In case of weather or operational disruptions, rescheduling and recovery can usually be coordinated more quickly, facilitating business planning.

Typical application scenarios

Urgent orders and time-sensitive goods

  • Emergency replenishment for stockouts (to avoid supply disruptions/stockouts)
  • Exhibition samples, exhibit materials and event information
  • Retail items with seasonal new arrivals and fixed launch dates

High-value products

  • Electronic products, semiconductors, precision instruments
  • Luxury goods, jewelry, and branded products
  • Key equipment components and special spare parts

Project-based transportation that depends on planned nodes

  • JIT production supporting materials and key components
  • Project goods at the agreed delivery milestones in the contract
  • Goods with a limited shelf life or that are time-sensitive

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the weight and size restrictions for air freight?

Air freight generally accommodates cargo up to 10,000 kg, but size restrictions vary depending on the aircraft type and route. For oversized, overweight, or overheight cargo, we can provide specialized solutions (including chartering/palletizing). Please provide your route and cargo specifications, and we will provide feasible restrictions and loading recommendations.

How much more expensive is air freight than sea freight?

Based on base freight rates, air freight is typically 4–6 times more expensive than sea freight. However, when factoring in "comprehensive costs" such as inventory holding costs, warehousing fees, insurance costs, and lost sales opportunities, air freight often offers greater overall economic efficiency for high-value or time-sensitive goods. We can provide a total cost estimate based on your cargo value and delivery time targets.

Which dangerous goods can be transported by air?

Most dangerous goods can be transported by air provided they comply with IATA regulations (proper declaration, compliant packaging, labeling, and supporting documentation are required), but there are also categories that are completely prohibited. We recommend providing the UN number, product name, MSDS, and packaging information. Our dangerous goods specialist will assess transportability and provide operational and documentation requirements.
