Air Cargo Green Capabilities (ACGC) arranges international air freight for commercial cargo moving between Europe, Asia, the Middle East, North America and other international markets.

Shipments can move on scheduled airline services or, when scheduled capacity does not match the cargo or deadline, by cargo charter. We can organize airport-to-airport transport or combine the flight with pickup, terminal handling, customs clearance and final delivery.

Before booking, we review the commodity, number of pieces, dimensions, gross and chargeable weight, packing, origin and destination airports, required delivery date and any special handling requirements.

International Air Freight Service Options

Scheduled Air Freight
Scheduled services are used for regular commercial shipments moving through established airline networks. Routing is selected according to available capacity, transit points and the required delivery window.
Priority Air Freight
Time-sensitive cargo can be booked on priority services when earlier uplift or shorter routing is required. For shipments where timing is the primary constraint, additional options are available through our time-critical solutions.
Airport-to-Airport
Airport-to-airport air freight covers cargo movement between the agreed departure and destination terminals, including airline booking and transport coordination.
Door-to-Door Air Freight
The air leg can be combined with collection from the shipper and road delivery after arrival. Customs and destination procedures are added according to the shipment and agreed scope.
Cargo Charter

Large-volume, heavy, outsized, project or urgent shipments may require dedicated aircraft capacity. Our air cargo charter services cover aircraft selection, route planning and operational coordination.

On Board Courier

Small critical shipments that must travel with a dedicated courier can be reviewed under our On Board Courier service.

Advantages of International Air Freight

Shorter International Transit

Air transport is used when the delivery window cannot be met by slower modes of transport, particularly for urgent stock, production parts and time-sensitive commercial shipments.

Worldwide Airport Connections

Cargo can be routed through major international airports and regional hubs according to airline schedules and destination requirements.

Multiple Service Levels

Standard, priority, airport-to-airport, door-to-door and charter options allow the transport format to be selected around the shipment rather than applying one solution to every booking.

Connection with Road Transport

First-mile and final-mile trucking can connect factories, warehouses, suppliers and consignee locations with the selected cargo airport.

Customs Support

International shipments may require export, import or transit procedures. These can be coordinated through our dedicated customs clearance service.

Cost and Timelines

International air freight pricing is calculated for each shipment. The main factors include:

  • origin and destination;
  • gross and chargeable weight;
  • piece dimensions;
  • available airline capacity;
  • direct or connecting routing;
  • service priority;
  • terminal handling;
  • first-mile and final-mile transport;
  • customs requirements;
  • special cargo procedures where applicable.

Current examples for selected routes are published on the Air Freight Rates and Costs page.

Transit time is confirmed for the selected routing. Airport-to-airport timing and complete door-to-door timing should be considered separately because pickup, terminal cut-off, customs procedures and final delivery add stages outside the flight itself.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in international air freight forwarding?

The scope may include pickup, airline booking, export handling, airport-to-airport air transport, customs coordination and final delivery. The exact scope is agreed before booking.

What is the difference between scheduled air freight and cargo charter?

Scheduled air freight uses capacity on existing airline services. A cargo charter provides dedicated aircraft capacity and is considered when shipment size, timing, routing or loading requirements cannot be covered by scheduled flights.

How is chargeable weight calculated for air freight?

Airlines compare the shipment’s gross weight with its volumetric weight. The higher figure is normally used as the chargeable weight for rate calculation.

Can one shipment include pickup, air freight, customs and final delivery?

Yes. These stages can be combined when door-to-door transport is required.

What information is needed for an international air freight quote?

Send the origin, destination, commodity, number of pieces, dimensions, gross weight, packing type, required delivery date and any special handling information.
