Air freight planned around your cargo and deadlines

An air freight enquiry needs accurate cargo details and a clear distinction between a preferred schedule and a firm delivery requirement. Share both so the transport options can be assessed before any commitment is made.

Provide measurements with packaging included

Measure the outside of every package, including pallets or protective packaging. State the number of packages in each size group and the total gross weight. This information helps assess handling and space requirements.

Describe the contents clearly. Mention batteries, liquids, temperature requirements or other characteristics that may require additional checks. Acceptance and any special handling need to be confirmed for the proposed shipment.

  • Collection and delivery locations, including preferred airports if known
  • Package count and packed length, width and height
  • Total gross weight and a clear goods description
  • Cargo readiness date and the date the goods are needed

Plan the whole journey

An airport arrival is not the same as delivery to the consignee. Specify whether the enquiry concerns airport-to-airport transport or also includes collection and onward delivery.

Include any loading appointments or handover requirements. Depending on the route and goods, document preparation, cargo acceptance and terminal handling can affect the overall schedule.

Understand the basis of the quote

Air freight pricing can depend on both weight and the space occupied by the shipment. The volume shown by our enquiry calculator is a preparation aid; it is not a confirmed chargeable weight or freight price.

The route, service option, handling needs and required dates also influence the assessment. Ask which stages and charges are included, and confirm the schedule and terms before booking. A requested arrival date is not a delivery guarantee.

Frequently asked questions

Can I enquire without choosing an airport?

Yes. Provide the actual collection and delivery locations. Add an airport only if it is a requirement or a preference, so the complete transport need is clear.

Is the volume calculator an air freight price calculator?

No. It adds up the physical volume of your package groups. Chargeable weight, the applicable service and the price require a separate assessment.
