Does Cargo Logistic Solutions operate its own aircraft?

No. We arrange air freight through established airline partners and manage the full chain around it — road collection, customs clearance, and final delivery.

How is air freight priced?

Airlines charge on chargeable weight — the higher of actual weight or volumetric weight — plus fuel and security surcharges, with road legs and customs handling added on top.

Can air freight include door-to-door delivery?

Yes. We collect your cargo by road, manage the air leg through our partners, and deliver from the destination airport straight to your address.

What can't be shipped by air freight?

Certain dangerous goods and oversized cargo are restricted or require special handling — check with us before booking if your shipment falls into either category.

How much faster is air freight than sea freight?

On intercontinental routes, air freight typically takes days where sea freight takes weeks — the trade-off is a significantly higher cost per kilogram.

Air Freight Services — Multimodal Air & Road Solutions

When a shipment can't wait for a truck or a vessel, air freight closes the gap. At Cargo Logistic Solutions, we organise the air leg through our airline partners and handle everything around it — pickup, customs clearance, and final-mile delivery by road across Poland, Spain, Germany and the UK. You get one point of contact for the whole journey, not just the flight.

What Air Freight With CargoLS Actually Covers

We don't operate aircraft — and we're upfront about that. What we do is build the full door-to-door chain around the air leg: collecting your cargo by road, preparing export documentation, booking space with airline partners, and arranging customs clearance and last-mile delivery on arrival. For shippers, this means one invoice, one point of contact, and no gaps between the air carrier and your warehouse.

This matters most for cargo that starts or ends away from an airport — which is nearly all of it. Our road fleet, including full-load and temperature-controlled vehicles, handles the pickup and final delivery, so the air leg is just one link in a chain we manage end to end.

When Air Freight Is the Right Choice

Air freight costs more per kilogram than road or sea freight, so it earns its place only when speed genuinely outweighs cost:

Time-critical shipments — spare parts holding up a production line, urgent medical supplies, same-week fashion drops.
High-value, low-volume cargo — electronics, precision instruments — where insurance and reduced time-in-transit lower overall risk exposure.
Perishable or sensitive goods with a narrow shelf life that can't tolerate weeks at sea.
Unpredictable demand spikes — e-commerce peaks where restocking by sea is already too slow.

If your cargo can absorb a longer transit time, road haulage will almost always be the cheaper route — we'll tell you that honestly rather than upsell air freight where it isn't needed.

How the Air + Road Chain Works

Booking and documentation. We confirm space with an airline partner, prepare the Air Waybill (AWB), and check export requirements for the origin country.
Road collection. Cargo is picked up by our contracted fleet and delivered to the departure airport, consolidated where volumes allow.
Customs clearance. Export declarations on departure, import clearance and T1/EX transit documentation on arrival, handled before the cargo leaves the terminal.
Final-mile delivery. Once cleared, we collect the cargo from the destination airport and deliver it by road to your address — the same fleet and tracking you'd get on a standard road shipment.

Typical Transit Times: Air vs Road vs Sea

Route type	Air freight (door-to-door)	Road freight	Sea freight
Within Europe	1–3 days	2–5 days	Not typically used
Europe ↔ China	3–6 days	Not direct (rail alternative)	25–40 days
Europe ↔ North America	2–5 days	Not applicable	15–25 days

These are general industry ranges — actual transit time depends on airline schedules, customs clearance speed, and the distance between your address and the nearest handling airport.

What Cargo Suits Air Freight

Air freight works best for goods where speed offsets the higher cost per kilogram: pharmaceuticals and healthcare products requiring tight delivery windows, e-commerce and retail goods during peak demand, electronics, and documents or samples needed at short notice. For heavier, less time-sensitive freight — machinery, bulk goods, construction materials — road or sea freight remains the more economical option, and we'll advise accordingly rather than default to air.

What Affects Air Freight Cost

Chargeable weight — airlines bill on whichever is higher: actual weight or volumetric weight (calculated from dimensions).
Distance to and from the airport — the road legs on both ends add to the total cost.
Fuel and security surcharges — set by the airline, subject to change with fuel prices.
Customs complexity — goods requiring certificates, permits, or special classification take longer and cost more to clear.
Seasonality — capacity tightens (and rates rise) around peak retail periods and holidays.
Urgency tier — standard, express, or next-flight-out options carry different price points.
Packaging and handling requirements — fragile, temperature-sensitive, or hazardous goods need extra preparation.
