Import and export air freight with consolidation, express and charter options, including handling for special and dangerous goods where regulations allow.
Overview
Air Freight with Link Cargo
When lead times are short or cargo value is high, air freight protects production schedules and sales commitments. Link Cargo books capacity with scheduled carriers, consolidates shipments to control cost, and arranges charters when volume or timing demands it.
Air waybills, chargeable weight calculation and airport handling are managed by our air department, with customs clearance handled in the same house.
