Air Freight Shipping

Air Shipment

Sea freight is the most economical way to move a household overseas, but it takes time. An air shipment brings the essentials you need first — clothing, kitchen basics, children’s favorites, work documents — to your new home far sooner, while the rest of your belongings follow by sea.

The photographs below show how we prepare air freight — from secure consolidation in air containers to the final wrapping and labeling.

What to send by air

  • Clothing and shoes for your first weeks
  • Bedding, towels and kitchen essentials
  • Children’s favorite toys and school supplies
  • Laptops, work files and anything you need straight away

Air freight is priced by weight and volume, so it is ideal for a focused selection of essentials. Batteries, aerosols, flammable liquids and other hazardous items cannot travel by air — we will help you review your list.

How we prepare an air shipment

  • Items are packed in sturdy cartons and consolidated into secure air containers.
  • Containers are wrapped, sealed and labeled, and every shipment is prepared to a detailed checklist.
  • Your air shipment is listed on your inventory alongside the sea shipment, so you always know what is traveling where.
