What is Air Freight?
Air freight moves commercial cargo through airline networks rather than integrated parcel-carrier networks. It is commonly used for urgent inventory, higher-value products and consignments that are too large or unsuitable for express courier.
Charges are normally assessed using the greater of actual and volumetric weight. Calculate your figures with our freight volume calculator.
How Air Freight Shipments Are Usually Handled
Goods can be collected from a supplier or delivered to an air-cargo handling point in China. We can coordinate origins including Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Ningbo and Yiwu.
Australian air cargo commonly enters through airports serving Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth, with onward delivery selected according to the final postcode and available routing.
Release remains subject to airline handling, Australian Border Force clearance and any Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry biosecurity direction.
When Air Freight Makes Sense
Air freight may be the right fit when:
- The cargo is commercially time-sensitive
- Replenishment delays would affect operations or sales
- The shipment value supports a faster service
- Sea freight cannot meet the required window
- The consignment is larger or more complex than a courier parcel
For small urgent parcels, compare our express courier service.

Transit and Delivery
Air freight timing varies with origin handling, cargo acceptance, airline capacity, routing, flight schedules, Australian customs and biosecurity clearance, and final delivery. Dangerous goods, batteries, oversized cargo and controlled commodities require additional review.
Delivery can be arranged to many Australian metropolitan and regional physical addresses. Remote areas may require an additional carrier transfer or depot collection.
