Three gateways, one booking
We book through whichever UAE airport gives your cargo the best connection, price or handling, and move it between emirates by road when that’s faster.
DXB
Dubai International
The widest choice of passenger belly-hold and freighter departures in the region. Our default for express and general cargo to Europe, Asia and Africa.
DWC
Al Maktoum, Dubai South
Purpose-built for freighters and a short drive from Jebel Ali port and free zone, which makes it the natural airport for sea-air and heavy cargo.
AUH
Zayed International, Abu Dhabi
Strong links to North America, Europe and the Indian subcontinent, with collection from KEZAD, Mussafah, ICAD and Abu Dhabi’s industrial and oil and gas sites.
Commercial air freight, every type
From a single carton to a full freighter, we book the space, prepare the paperwork and stay with the shipment until it’s signed for, in both directions.
General cargo
Cartons, pallets, machinery and spare parts on scheduled passenger and freighter flights to and from 400+ airports.
Consolidation
Share space on our regular consolidations to major hubs and pay less than booking a direct shipment, ideal from 45 kg upwards.
Direct and back-to-back
Your own air waybill on a named flight when control, speed or confidentiality matters more than price.
Express and next flight out
Priority bookings, on-board couriers and same-day departures for urgent documents, samples and parts.
Charter
Full, part and split charters on freighters from small turboprops to 747s for project volumes and cargo that won’t fit scheduled flights.
Sea-air via Dubai
Ocean freight into Jebel Ali, then onward by air from DWC. Typically far faster than sea and cheaper than air all the way.
E-commerce and courier
Marketplace stock, B2C parcel consolidation and returns, with customs clearance built for high volumes of small shipments.
Project and heavy cargo
Oil and gas, power and construction equipment, with lift plans, main-deck bookings and site delivery.
Exhibitions and events
Show freight in and out of DWTC, ADNEC and Expo City, including ATA carnets, temporary imports and on-site delivery.
Personal effects
Unaccompanied baggage and household goods for relocating families and staff, packed and cleared door to door.
Specialist cargo
Cargo that needs special handling is coded by airlines. These are the codes we book every week.
DGR
Dangerous goods
Lithium batteries, chemicals, paints, aerosols and gases. Classification, packing, labelling and declarations.
PER
Perishables
Fruit, vegetables, flowers, seafood and meat on fast, direct routings with cold storage at the airport.

Questions shippers ask
How is air freight priced?
By chargeable weight: the greater of the actual weight and the volumetric weight (length × width × height in cm ÷ 6,000). Large, light cargo is charged on volume. The quote form calculates this for you.
What documents do I need to export from the UAE?
Usually a commercial invoice, packing list and, for some goods, a certificate of origin or permits. We’ll tell you exactly what your shipment needs and prepare the air waybill and export declaration.
Can you collect from a free zone?
Yes. We collect from free zones and mainland warehouses across all seven emirates, and handle the free zone exit paperwork.
Do you ship dangerous goods?
Yes, subject to airline acceptance. Send us the safety data sheet and we’ll confirm classification, packaging and the right carrier.
Can you ship lithium batteries?
Yes. Batteries shipped alone or packed with equipment are dangerous goods. Send us the battery specification and safety data sheet, and we’ll confirm the packing instruction, labels and which airlines will accept them.
Do you ship pets, horses or falcons?
Yes. We arrange IATA-compliant crates or stalls, veterinary health certificates, import permits and a booking with an airline that carries live animals on your route.
What is sea-air and when does it make sense?
Your cargo travels by sea to Jebel Ali, then flies on from Dubai. It suits shipments from Asia to Europe or Africa that are too urgent for sea but too costly for air the whole way.
How fast can cargo leave Dubai?
From Dubai or Abu Dhabi, express shipments can often fly the same or next day. General cargo typically departs within 1–3 days of booking, depending on the lane and airline space.
Do you handle imports into the UAE too?
Yes. We arrange pick-up at origin, Dubai or Abu Dhabi customs clearance and delivery to your door, and we give you a duty and VAT estimate before the cargo flies.
