WHY AIR?
Air Transportation is the fastest mode of International Shipping.
You should always consider airfreight transportation of items
that you and/or your family will need immediately upon arriving
in your destination country (i.e., essentials that cannot wait)
until your sea-bound shipment arrives.
PRICE
The determining cost of airfreight is weight. It is based on
a 10.4 density factor or actual gross weight, whichever is greater.
EXAMPLE
LDN container, 56" x 55" x 57" / 101cft, with
an actual gross weight of 500lbs. The chargeable weight for
101cft by the airlines is 1050lbs based on 10.4 density factor.
Thus, your airfreight rate is based on 1050lbs.
TYPICAL AIR CONTAINER TYPES
AIRFREIGHT TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS
The two manners in which to ship by air are:
- Priority Airfreight
- Your consignment would be booked on a direct
flight. This can be organized on a door to door
or door to airport basis.
- Consolidation Airfreight
- Consolidation of your freight means that Southern
Winds International can offer you a reduced
rate by bringing other shipments with the same
destination together. This can be organized
on a door to door or door to airport basis.
* On a door to door basis, this includes pick-up,
customs clearance and delivery on arrival.
* On a door to airport basis, this includes
