Cargo types we handle by air.
From a single urgent spare to temperature-controlled pharma shipments β air freight is the right tool when urgency or value justifies the cost.
Time-critical cargo
Production stoppages, urgent spares, missed sea freight. When waiting for the next vessel isn't an option.
High-value goods
Electronics, precision instruments, luxury goods. Air freight's security and handling standards reduce risk on valuable consignments.
Pharmaceuticals & perishables
Temperature-controlled and cold-chain cargo handled with IATA-compliant procedures throughout.
Dangerous goods
Lithium batteries, chemicals and restricted items β classified, packed and declared correctly under IATA DGR.
Samples & small volumes
When LCL ocean groupage is too slow and a full air charter is too large. We match the right service to the size.
Charter & out-of-gauge
Oversized or urgent cargo that can't fit scheduled services. We arrange charter solutions when standard options fall short.
What we manage on every air shipment.
From confirmed airline space to your warehouse door β one team, zero handoffs you have to manage yourself.
Airline booking & space
Rate negotiation and confirmed space on the right carrier for your timeline and cargo type β not just the cheapest available option.
Airway Bill management
Master and House AWB issued correctly. Instructions to the airline at origin match exactly what customs sees at destination.
IATA dangerous goods compliance
We classify, document and ensure correct packing for any restricted or hazardous cargo before it reaches the airline.
Cold chain coordination
Temp-controlled acceptance, transfer and delivery arrangements confirmed before the flight departs β not figured out on arrival.
Customs pre-clearance
SARS submissions prepared before the aircraft lands. Goods cleared before they're off the plane wherever possible.
Ground handling & last-mile delivery
Airport-to-door, door-to-door or airport-to-airport β whatever the arrangement, we manage ground handlers and domestic delivery.
The South African airports we work.
OR Tambo International (JNB)
South Africa's busiest airport and the main hub for international air cargo. Handles the majority of our import volumes.
Cape Town International (CPT)
Direct services from select European carriers. Key for Western Cape-based importers avoiding inland transshipment.
King Shaka International (DUR)
Growing cargo hub serving KZN manufacturers and importers, with connecting freight from OR Tambo.
Air freight that moves as fast as you need it to.
When you're using air freight, it's usually because something urgent is on the line. We treat every air shipment with the urgency it deserves β confirmed space, proactive tracking and customs ready before landing.
Talk to our freight teamPre-clearance as standard
Customs submissions prepared before the aircraft departs. We don't wait for the plane to land to start the paperwork.
IATA compliance built in
Dangerous goods, restricted items and pharma cargo handled by staff trained in IATA DGR β no last-minute airline rejections.
Rate vs. urgency honesty
We'll tell you if a faster sailing or LCL groupage makes more commercial sense than air. We optimise for your outcome, not our margin.
Air freight is one part of the chain.
Ocean Freight
When timeline allows, ocean freight cuts cost significantly. FCL and LCL on all major trade lanes.
International Courier
For documents, samples and small parcels where express door-to-door is more practical than air cargo.
Customs Clearance
SARS-compliant clearance integrated with your air freight β no separate broker, no delay between steps.
Tell us what you need moved and when.
Share your origin, cargo type and deadline. We'll confirm space and give you a transparent rate β typically within a few hours for urgent requests.
