Air Freight Services You Can Rely On

When you need your cargo to fly fast, Gateway Cargo’s Air Freight Services deliver. You get speed, visibility, and reliable routes. We handle all aspects of air logistics—airport-to-airport or door-to-door—with clarity and control.

We simplify your shipping. You tell us your origin, destination, weight, dimensions, and timeline. We take care of the rest: booking, documentation, handling, tracking, delivery.

Why Choose Air Freight?

Speed matters when your goods are time-sensitive, perishable, or high value. Air freight gives you a clear advantage over sea or road for key deliveries.

Global air cargo demand surged 11.3% in 2024, measured in cargo tonne-kilometers (CTK). IATA Capacity (available cargo tonne-kilometers) also grew by 7.4%. IATA+1

The global air freight market reached USD 319.4 billion in 2024, and analysts expect a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of ~4.9 % through 2033. IMARC Group

Those numbers show this isn’t niche or secondary transportation. It’s a core part of global trade. More businesses now expect fast, reliable shipping—and air freight meets that expectation.

  3. Pickup & Ground Handling
    We collect from your location, transport to airport, and manage cargo handling, security checks, and loading.

  4. Flight Transit
    Your cargo moves via selected route(s). We monitor the flight, handling any transfers or stops.

Visibility, Tracking & Emissions

You never have to wonder where your cargo is. Our Track & Trace system gives you real-time updates on location, flight status, and delivery estimates.

We also integrate carbon emissions tracking. You can get a report that covers both air transit emissions and the ground legs (pickup and delivery). This helps you report environmental impact with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How fast is air freight?
Transit times depend on route. From Asia to Europe, expect 3–7 days. From North America to Europe, 1–3 days. Express options may reduce that further.

Q2: How do you price air freight?
We use weight or volumetric weight (whichever is higher) plus route, urgency, and handling. Fuel and security surcharges apply.

Q3: Can I track my shipment?
Yes. Our Track & Trace system shows where your cargo is, which flight it’s on, expected arrival, and delivery status.

Q4: Do you offer carbon emission data?
Yes. You can get an emissions estimate for the flight and the ground legs. You choose to include that in your shipment.

Q5: Do you handle customs clearance?
Absolutely. We manage export and import clearance, document filing, duties, and inspections.

Q6: What happens if a flight is delayed or canceled?
We monitor airline operations and reroute as needed. We’ll notify you immediately and manage alternative options.
