Why Use an Air Freight Forwarder?

Working with an air freight forwarder gives you more support, control and visibility than trying to arrange international air cargo alone. Air freight involves more than simply booking space on an aircraft. The shipment may need collection, export paperwork, airline handling, customs clearance, import documentation, UK customs support, final delivery and ongoing communication between multiple parties.

Power Forwarding manages these steps for you. We coordinate the transportation, prepare the required documentation, advise on customs requirements and work with established relationships across the freight and logistics industry to keep your shipment moving.

Using an experienced freight forwarder can help you:

  • Save time during the booking and shipping process
  • Reduce customs delays and paperwork errors
  • Access suitable air freight services for your cargo
  • Compare speed, transit time and cost efficiency
  • Improve operational efficiency across your supply chain
  • Keep one point of contact throughout the shipment
  • Move urgent or valuable cargo with greater confidence
  • Avoid unnecessary stress when importing or exporting goods


For businesses involved in international trade, a reliable air freight company can make a major difference to delivery performance, customer service and supply chain reliability.

Benefits of Using Air Freight

If you need to transport your goods in a hurry, our global air freight solutions network comes with a number of benefits and are by far the best shipping service option for your needs, this includes a quick transit time. It is the fastest and most convenient method – an eight-hour flight can take up to eight days at sea, which is unsuitable for time-sensitive goods. At Power Forwarding, our services make the process even simpler as we handle all the paperwork and supply insurance for all of our commercial and private clients.

How Our Air Freight Forwarding Process Works

Our air freight forwarding process is designed to be straightforward, clear and efficient.

1. Request an Air Freight Quote

Send us the details of your shipment, including the collection point, destination, cargo type, weight, dimensions, deadline and any special handling requirements. This allows us to assess the most suitable air freight service for your needs.

2. We Plan the Best Air Freight Solution

We review your cargo, route, transit time, customs requirements and budget. Where appropriate, we compare air freight with ocean freight, road freight or combined freight forwarding options so you can make the right decision.

3. We Handle the Paperwork

International air freight requires accurate documentation. Our team can help with the paperwork needed for your shipment, including commercial invoices, packing lists, airway bill information and customs clearance documents.

4. Your Cargo Is Collected and Booked

Once the shipment is ready, we arrange transport to the airport, coordinate airline space and manage the booking process. We aim to keep the process efficient, organised and clear from the start.

5. Customs Clearance Is Managed

Customs is a key part of international freight. We support customers with UK customs clearance and help reduce customs issues by making sure documentation is prepared correctly before the shipment moves.

6. Tracking and Final Delivery

Once your air cargo is in transit, we keep you updated where tracking is available. After arrival, we can coordinate onward transport and delivery to the final destination.

The Different Types of Freight

Freight is a term used to describe goods that are transported from one location to another. There are several different types of freight, each with its own unique characteristics and transportation requirements. Understanding the different types of freight can help you choose the best shipping method for your business needs.

Full Truckload (FTL)

Freight Full truckload (FTL) freight is a type of freight that requires a full truck to transport. This type of freight is typically used for large shipments that require a dedicated truck and can take up the entire trailer. FTL shipments are usually the most cost-effective way to ship larger quantities of goods over long distances.

Less Than Truckload (LTL)

Freight Less than truckload (LTL) freight is a type of freight that does not require a full truck to transport. Instead, LTL freight is consolidated with other shipments from different customers to fill a truck. This type of freight is typically used for smaller shipments or when the cost of shipping an FTL is not justified. LTL shipping is usually more expensive than FTL but can be more cost-effective for smaller shipments.

Intermodal Freight

Intermodal freight involves the use of multiple modes of transportation to transportating goods from one location to another. This can include combinations of trucks, trains, ships, and planes. Intermodal shipping is often used for long-distance shipping as it allows for faster transit times and more efficient transportation.

Air Freight

Air freight is a type of freight that is transported by air. This type of freight is typically used for high-value or time-sensitive shipments that need to be delivered quickly. Air freight can be expensive, but it is often the most efficient way to transport goods over long distances.

Ocean Freight

Ocean freight involves the transportation of goods by sea. This type of freight is typically used for international shipping as it is the most cost-effective way to transport large quantities of goods over long distances. Ocean freight can take longer than other shipping methods, but it is often the best option for businesses that need to ship large quantities of goods internationally.

Rail Freight

Rail freight involves the transportation of goods by rail. This type of freight is typically used for long-distance shipping of bulk goods, such as coal or grain. Rail freight is often more cost-effective than other shipping methods for large, heavy shipments.

Air Freight FAQs

What is air freight forwarding?

Air freight forwarding is the process of arranging and managing the movement of goods by air. An air freight forwarder coordinates the shipment, books airline space, prepares documentation, supports customs clearance and helps arrange collection and delivery.

An air freight forwarder manages the practical steps involved in shipping cargo by air. This can include planning the route, arranging transport to the airport, booking air cargo space, preparing paperwork, handling customs clearance and keeping the customer updated during the shipment.

To get an air freight quote, you will usually need to provide the collection location, delivery destination, cargo description, weight, dimensions, number of packages, value of goods and required delivery timescale. Power Forwarding can then review the details and recommend a suitable air freight solution.

Air freight costs vary depending on the shipment size, actual weight, volumetric weight, destination, urgency, customs requirements and any special cargo handling. Air freight is usually more expensive than sea shipping, but it can be the better option when speed and reliability are essential.

Air freight shipments commonly need a commercial invoice, packing list and airway bill information. Depending on the cargo and destination, additional paperwork may be required, such as certificates of origin, dangerous goods declarations, insurance documents or customs clearance information.

Yes. Power Forwarding can support customers with UK customs clearance for air freight shipments. We help customers understand the paperwork required and support the customs process so cargo can move through the border as efficiently as possible.

Air freight can be used for a wide range of cargo, including retail goods, electronics, manufacturing parts, product samples, ecommerce stock, valuable cargo, urgent shipments and personal effects. Some goods may be restricted or require special handling, so it is best to check before booking.

Some dangerous goods can be moved by air freight, but they must meet strict regulations and be accepted by the airline or carrier. Documentation, packaging, labelling and handling requirements are important. Power Forwarding can advise on the next steps if your shipment may include dangerous goods.

International air freight is usually much faster than ocean freight, but the exact transit time depends on the origin, destination, airline schedule, customs clearance and final delivery requirements. Once we understand your shipment, we can provide an estimated transit time before booking.

Air freight is usually best for urgent, valuable or time-sensitive cargo. Ocean freight is often more cost-effective for larger, heavier or less urgent shipments. Power Forwarding can help you compare both options and choose the most suitable service based on cost, speed and delivery requirements.
