What is air freight?
Air freight is simply the transport and delivery of goods by aircraft. It is known to be an effective method to transport and deliver to places all across the world. Compared with other modes of freight transportation, air freight has the ability to deliver across countries in a timely manner.
So, what are the benefits of air freight?
A great option for international trading:
Air freight has the ability of transporting goods across larger distances. The time between ordering and receiving can be minimal, which is perfect for time-sensitive deliveries requested from outside the UK.
Quick delivery to suit specific goods:
Being a swift option for transportation means that any perishable items such as fruit, can be maintained and kept fresh through to delivery and sale. Moreover, at AFFA, we will be sure to take into consideration any specific delivery requirements you may have.
Faster stock turn-around:
For busy periods, such as around the Christmas season, air freight is the most effective method of transportation due to its speedy service. With the increase of sales, stock is needed to be replenished at quicker rates, and the use of air freight for transport means that this process can all be completed rapidly. This enables businesses to keep up with demand and achieve more sales.
