Air freight is the fastest way to move goods over long distances. It is also the costliest shipping option but if you have time-sensitive or high-value cargo and customers that demand urgency, you may have no choice but to go the air cargo route. International air freight is complex and fraught with pitfalls for the unwary.
WeFreight is here to help you meet, and beat, challenges such as cargo restrictions, documentation, customs procedures, and volatile air freight rates. Our dynamic and agile team is experienced in all aspects of air cargo logistics and will help speed your goods on their way.
Our partnerships with trusted international air cargo service providers give you enormous flexibility, access to competitive rates, and a reliable, quality air freight shipping service.
Depending on the value of your cargo and the air freight company you use, your cargo may or may not be automatically insured. Be sure to ask about insurance when arranging your air freight shipping. In some cases, you may be able to purchase insurance for your cargo through the freight forwarder or airline. At WeFreight, we can help you choose the right level of cargo insurance and arrange cover for you.
While documentation requirements differ from country to country, the following are the minimum you will require for air freight shipping:
• Commercial Invoice
• Air Waybill (AWB)
• Packing List
• Certificate of Origin
• Letter of Credit or other payment terms

While we aim to offer optimum transit times that support our customers’ requirements, many factors beyond our control make it impossible to offer guarantees. However, we always work with our air cargo partners to ensure schedules are met as often as is possible.
The chargeable weight (CW) of air freight is determined by the gross weight (GW) or the volume weight (VW), whichever is greater. The following formula is used to determine the chargeable weight: Imperial: L x W x H in inches (in) / 165 = VW (in lbs.) Metric: L x W x H in centimetres (cm) / 6,000 = VW (in kgs).
Yes, there are limits to the size and weight of cargo that can be shipped by air freight. Please contact your local WeFreight office for more information on air freight limits.
