Air shipment

Air transportation is one of the safest and fastest ways of transporting goods, which has a major share of freight rates in countries. Airlines move these commercial shipments from the country of origin using giant aircraft.

This method is a safe and fast but expensive way, so it is mostly used for sensitive or expensive goods such as gold, medicine, or special goods.

Who are the aviation customers?

Recipients of services from airline companies are merchants who often have goods of low weight and size but high value, or in any case need their goods to be available at the destination in a short time. Importers of computer equipment and luxury car equipment or perishable goods are such customers.
