When should I use air freight instead of ocean freight?

Air freight is ideal for time-sensitive shipments, high-value goods, perishable items, or emergency replacement parts where the cost of transit time outweighs the higher shipping cost.

What is an Air Waybill (AWB)?

An Air Waybill is a document issued by an airline that serves as a receipt for goods and evidence of the contract of carriage. Unlike an ocean Bill of Lading, an AWB is non-negotiable.

Are there size limits for air freight?

Yes, cargo must fit within the dimensions of the aircraft cargo doors and holds. Standard commercial flights have strict limits, while dedicated freighter aircraft can handle larger cargo. For massive items, ocean freight or specialized air charters are required.
