Benefits of Air Freight

Besides the advantages of arranging air freight with Kuipers, air freight offers its own set of advantages too, including speed, reliability, and safety.

Air freight is the fastest mode of transportation. There are no traffic jams on the road or rail delays. This makes it ideal for urgent shipments and long distances. In many cases, air freight can be picked up and delivered on the same day, depending on the distance. Transit time is usually no more than a few days.

Another advantage is the high level of reliability. Airlines are required to comply with strict safety standards and quality controls, which works to your benefit.

In short, air freight is a fast, reliable, and flexible way to transport goods globally, making it an ideal choice if you’re working against the clock. If time constraints are less of a priority, sea freight may be a better option.

One of the most important destinations is China. The Netherlands imports around €45 billion in goods annually from China and exports about €14 billion. Many of these goods are shipped by container vessel, but for certain shipments, this route is too time-consuming. Such shipments need to reach their destination quickly to avoid delays or downtime. In these cases, air freight to or from China is a good option.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Air Freight

Why should I choose air freight?

There are many reasons to choose air freight instead of other forms of transport.

One key reason is the speed at which goods can be transported. Air freight is the fastest way to ship goods, as it avoids road traffic or rail delays. In many cases, air freight shipments can be picked up and delivered to their destination on the same day, helping you reduce pressure when quick delivery is needed.

Another advantage of air freight is the reliability of the service. Airlines are required to adhere to strict safety regulations and quality standards. Which is why you can be sure that your goods will arrive safely and on time.

Finally, air freight offers flexibility. You can decide to ship your goods at any time, and the weight and volume of goods are generally less restricted than with other forms of transport. This allows you to ship a wider range of products that might not otherwise be eligible for transport.

In short, air freight is a fast, reliable, and flexible way to transport goods worldwide, making it an ideal choice for time-sensitive shipments that need to arrive at their destination quickly and safely.

How long does it take to ship goods via air freight?

The transit time for your air freight shipment varies depending on the destination and type of flight: direct or indirect.

Direct Flights: Direct flights are generally faster but can be more expensive. For example, a direct flight from Amsterdam to Hong Kong with KLM.

Indirect Flights: For more cost-effective options, there are indirect flights via hubs such as Istanbul or Qatar. These flights may take longer and come with varying prices depending on the route and number of stopovers.

At Kuipers Logistics, we offer multiple options for air freight shipping.

Please note that, in addition to flight time, pre- and post-flight processes also affect transit time, including goods pickup, customs clearance, and any storage or distribution steps. The pre-flight stage may take 1 to 2 days, as can the post-flight stage.

How does air freight work?

  • The process begins with booking the freight with the airline, taking into account the destination, shipment size, and desired delivery time.
  • Next, the freight is picked up from the sender and transported to the airport.
  • At the airport, the freight is inspected for proper documentation and declared safe.
  • It is then loaded onto the plane, and the flight to the destination begins.
  • Upon arrival, the freight is unloaded and checked for any damage.
  • After customs clearance, the shipment is released and delivered to the recipient.
