What Is Air Cargo Shipping?
Air cargo shipping refers to the transportation of goods by aircraft across domestic or international destinations. It is commonly used for time-sensitive, high-value, or fragile shipments that require fast and secure delivery.
Why Air Freight Is Important for Global Trade
Air freight supports industries such as e-commerce, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, electronics, and fashion. It allows businesses to reduce inventory holding costs and respond quickly to market demand.
Key Benefits of Air Cargo
- Faster transit time compared to sea freight
- Higher security and reduced risk of damage

According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), air cargo accounts for less than 1% of global trade volume but over 35% of global trade value, highlighting its importance in international logistics. (External backlink – authority reference)
