Airfreight Services for Overseas Moving

When you need your belongings to arrive overseas quickly, securely, and with the utmost care, airfreight is the fastest solution. Whether you are shipping householdgoods, delicate artwork, valuable musical instruments, or even a classic car, our airfreight services are designed to meet tight deadlines without compromising safety.


Why Choose Airfreight for Your Move?

  • Speed – Delivery in days, not weeks or months.

  • Security – Shipments are handled with extra care and tracked throughout transit.

  • Reliability – Fixed flight schedules mean fewer delays compared to sea freight.

  • Flexibility – From single boxes to large and specialized items, we tailor the service to your needs.


How Airfreight Chargeable Weight is Calculated

Airfreight rates are based on the greater of two measurements:

  1. Actual weight – The physical weight of your shipment.

  2. Volumetric (dimensional) weight – How much space your shipment occupies.

Formula:
Length (inches) × Width (inches) × Height (inches) ÷ 166 = Volumetric Weight in lbs
(If using centimeters, divide by 6000 to get kilograms)

For example:
A crate measuring 40" × 30" × 25" = 30,000 cubic inches ÷ 166 = 181 lbs chargeable weight.
If the actual weight is 150 lbs, the airline charges for 181 lbs.

Is Airfreight Right for You?

If your move is not urgent or involves large volumes, you may want to consider sea freight options such as LCL, FCL, or groupage services.
