Air Freight

Air freight is suited to small parcels that need to be moved quickly. Air freight is based on kilograms and is calculated by kg or by volumetric weight, which is calculated in the following way:
Length x breadth x height (in cm’s) divided by 6000 = volumetric kg’s
There are 3 types of air freight:

1. Direct air freight: This applies to cargo that is put on an aeroplane and the client is responsible for the clearance of the cargo at the destination.
2. Courier air freight: A courier company collects and delivers the cargo door to door
3. Parcel air freight: A parcel is handed in at the Post Office and air freighted to and from South Africa. This takes a little longer, but is the cheapest form of air freight.
