Air freight, also known as air cargo, refers to the transportation of goods via aircraft from one location to another. It involves the shipment of various types of cargo, including general merchandise, perishable goods, electronics, pharmaceuticals, and more, through the air transportation network. Air freight is known for its speed and efficiency, making it ideal for time-sensitive shipments and urgent deliveries. It offers several advantages, such as faster transit times compared to other modes of transportation like sea or road freight, enhanced security for high-value or sensitive cargo, and the ability to reach remote or distant locations more quickly. Air freight services are provided by airlines, freight forwarders, and logistics companies, offering a range of options from express delivery to consolidated shipments based on the needs of the customer.
