Air freight is our focus

Invoices, packing lists and declarations are reviewed before booking — the simplest way to avoid shipments held at customs.

Updates without chasing

Booking confirmation, AWB number, departure and arrival are sent to you as they happen, not when you ask.

Practical advice that lowers cost

From carton sizes that reduce volumetric weight to correct battery declarations, we help you ship smarter, not just faster.

03How air freight works

Four things worth knowing before you ship by air

A little background makes quotations easier to compare and shipments easier to plan.

01

You pay for weight or space — whichever is greater

Airlines charge on chargeable weight: the higher of actual gross weight and volumetric weight (L × W × H ÷ 6000 in cm). Compact packing saves money.

02

Every shipment travels under an air waybill

The AWB is the contract of carriage and the tracking reference. It names the shipper, consignee, routing and the cargo being carried.

03

All cargo is screened before loading

Shipments are security screened and checked against their documents before they are built up onto pallets or containers for the aircraft.

04

Direct or via a hub

Some cargo flies direct; most international cargo connects through a hub airport. We choose the routing that balances transit time, reliability and cost.

04Global destinations

One hub. Routes to the gateways that matter to your trade.

Cargo from Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad and Sialkot connects through direct services and major hubs to the Gulf, Europe, North America and Asia Pacific — with onward delivery beyond the airport.

    08FAQs

    Questions we hear most often

    Can’t find what you need? Our team is a phone call or a WhatsApp message away.

    How is air freight priced?

    Air freight is charged per kilogram of chargeable weight, which is the higher of the shipment's actual gross weight and its volumetric weight. Origin handling, documentation, and destination charges are added depending on the service you choose. Each quotation lists these separately.

    What is volumetric weight and how is it calculated?

    Volumetric (or dimensional) weight reflects the space a shipment takes up on the aircraft. For dimensions in centimetres, it is calculated as length × width × height × number of pieces ÷ 6000. Light but bulky cargo is therefore charged on its size rather than its weight. You can check your shipment with our chargeable weight calculator.

    What is the difference between express and standard air freight?

    Express air freight prioritises the earliest suitable departure for time-critical cargo. Standard air freight uses scheduled and consolidated services to give a lower rate for cargo that has a little more time. Both travel by air under an air waybill.

    How long does air freight take?

    Transit depends on the routing, flight frequency, connections and customs procedures at each end. Direct routings to major gateways are typically counted in days rather than weeks. We confirm an estimated transit time with every quotation.

    Do you handle customs clearance?

    We coordinate export and import customs clearance through licensed customs agents and prepare or review the supporting documents. Duties and taxes are payable according to the agreed Incoterms.

    Can you ship dangerous goods or lithium batteries?

    Many dangerous goods can travel by air when they are correctly classified, packed, labelled and declared, and accepted by the airline. Some items are forbidden on aircraft altogether. Tell us exactly what you are shipping, including any safety data sheet, and we will advise.
