Main Services
Air freight services.
International air freight for shipments where a production deadline, replenishment need or delivery window justifies the air option. Plan cargo acceptance, airport handoffs and inland connections around the complete move.
Shipment planning priorities
Cargo readiness
Confirm packaging, dimensions and acceptance requirements.
Timing in context
Review requested dates against feasible routing.
Airport to destination
Plan handoffs and delivery access beyond the flight.
Air Freight
Time matters. So do the details.
Air freight can make operational sense when an inventory shortage, production requirement or time-critical shipment cannot wait for an ocean option. The decision should consider shipment value, size, readiness and the cost of missing the required delivery window.
Prisma Freight coordinates air freight requirements across the agreed scope. Available routing, cargo acceptance and capacity must be reviewed along with airport handling and inland transit. A requested delivery window is not a guaranteed transit commitment.
Time-Critical Planning
Evaluate urgency against the full route.
The flight schedule alone cannot establish delivery timing. Confirm when the freight will be ready, when it can be accepted and what must happen after arrival.
International import and export
Plan import air freight and export air freight around origin acceptance, destination release and the appointed documentation contacts on both sides.
Expedited international freight
For expedited air freight, assess the freight-ready time against available departures and connection options. Confirm cargo acceptance and booking conditions before committing to a route.
Final-mile coordination
Connect airport release with suitable delivery equipment, destination access and the consignee's appointment. Airport arrival does not by itself mean the shipment is ready for collection.
Transportation Scope
From airport options to connected delivery.
Compare air freight options on the same basis: where custody begins, where the transportation scope ends and who coordinates the remaining legs.
Door-to-airport
Include origin pickup and delivery to the export airport. Define acceptance requirements and the destination-side activities outside the agreed scope.
Airport-to-airport
Define the air transportation between the selected airports. Confirm cargo handoff requirements and who arranges collection and onward delivery.
Airport-to-door
Include destination-side transportation after applicable airport release. Review cargo collection contacts, handling requirements and final receiving access.
Shipment Journey
The flight and the handoffs around it.
A connected air shipment depends on more than departure and arrival. Cargo acceptance and release readiness link the flight to pickup and delivery.
Origin Pickup
Confirm freight-ready time, packaged dimensions and loading access before arranging pickup.
Export Airport
Align airport delivery with cargo acceptance, screening, documentation and applicable cutoff requirements.
Air Transit
Follow the agreed routing and communicate changes to departures or connections.
Destination Airport
Confirm arrival and cargo availability with the parties handling release and collection.
Final Delivery
Dispatch the inland leg when cargo is available and coordinate the consignee's receiving appointment.
Airport-only scopes cover selected stages. Cargo acceptance, screening, release and connection requirements depend on the route and commodity.
FAQ
Air freight questions.
When should I use air freight instead of ocean freight?
Consider air when the required delivery window or the operational impact of a delay outweighs the higher transportation cost. Compare cargo size, value, readiness and acceptance requirements against feasible air and ocean routes, including handling and inland delivery at both ends.
What information is needed for an air freight quote?
Provide the origin and destination, commodity, package count, packaged dimensions, gross weight, freight-ready time and required delivery window. Specify airport or door scope and flag any special handling or acceptance requirements so routing and capacity can be evaluated.
Can air freight include pickup and final delivery?
Pickup and final delivery may be coordinated as part of the agreed shipment scope, subject to review and available arrangements. Loading access, airport handoffs, release contacts and receiving appointments should be identified before booking.
