Air Freight FAQ
What is the difference between express and standard air freight?
Express prioritises the earliest available flight — ideal for urgent spare parts, samples, or time-critical production inputs. Standard uses scheduled services at lower cost; deferred offers further savings when transit time is flexible. We advise on the best tier for your deadline and budget.
Which airports do you operate from in Egypt?
We handle export and import air cargo through Cairo and Alexandria airports — coordinating ground handling, customs, and onward delivery from both gateways.
How long does an air freight quotation take?
We aim to respond within 24 business hours (Saturday–Thursday) once route, weight, dimensions, and commodity are confirmed. Use our online quote form for faster routing to the air desk.
Can you handle pharmaceuticals or dangerous goods by air?
Yes — subject to airline approval and correct documentation. Pharma cargo may require temperature monitoring; DG shipments need IATA class, UN number, and MSDS. Specify special requirements in your quote request.
