Air Freight Services—Are They All the Same?

If you don’t have much experience shipping goods by air, you might think all air freight services are the same. At first glance, it does seem that way, doesn’t it? But this couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, the quality and flexibility of air freight services varies greatly from company to company.

Here are some examples:

• Destinations—The first difference between many air freight services is the destinations served. The bigger air shipping companies usually only ship to major destinations across the world, because they operate large aircraft. Amerijet, on the other hand operates smaller and large Boeing aircraft and is committed to providing you with the best shipping solutions for your needs. If this means getting your goods to remote destinations, we’ll make it happen.
  
  
• Price—Even though you should never choose a shipping company on price alone, the truth is rates can vary greatly from one company to another. Most air freight services allow you to get a free instant quote from their website to get an idea of how much they’ll charge to ship your goods. Always make sure that the company you select can deliver as promised.
  
  
• Types of goods allowed—Another key difference between air shipping companies is the types of goods they will ship. For example, Amerijet is one of the few air cargo carriers qualified to ship hazardous materials. Most other companies can’t ship them. Amerijet also provides air services for perishables and live animals; most other companies don’t.
