Air Freight Transportation Services

Standard and Express Air Cargo

Depending on your budget and deadline we offer consolidated (standard) or priority (express) air freight. With express service your cargo is loaded on the first available flight and reaches its destination within 24-72 hours. With standard service we reduce cost through weekly consolidations.

Special Cargo: Dangerous Goods, Cold Chain and Valuables

Özd Global specializes in IATA DGR-compliant dangerous goods transportation, cold-chain air cargo for pharmaceuticals and food, and secure transportation for valuable and sensitive electronics. We plan the right packaging, labeling and documentation for every special shipment together with you.

Air Cargo Customs Clearance and Door-to-Door Delivery

Speed gained in the air should not be lost at customs. The Özd Global customs team prepares export and import declarations before the flight, speeds up terminal handling and delivers your cargo to the final address in the destination country.

Air cargo pricing: volumetric weight and surcharges

Air freight is charged on the greater of actual weight and volumetric weight (chargeable weight). Volumetric weight is the cargo's length x width x height (cm) divided by 6000; for light but bulky cargo this value may exceed the actual weight. Fuel and security surcharges, terminal handling, AWB documentation fees and destination airport charges are added to the freight. Özd Global lowers the cost per kilogram with consolidated shipments and presents all items in one quote.

Express, standard and charter air cargo options

Express air cargo loads your shipment on the first available flight and targets delivery within 1-3 business days; ideal for urgent spare parts, samples and pharmaceuticals. Standard air cargo is a more economical alternative with weekly consolidations and a 3-6 business day delivery time. For very large, heavy or extremely time-critical cargo, part or full charter flights are organized. Özd Global presents these three options side by side according to your deadline and budget.

Goods that can and cannot be shipped by air

Electronics, textiles, spare parts, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, precision instruments and perishable food are the most common air cargo. Lithium batteries, aerosols, flammable liquids and pressurized containers require special packaging, labeling and declaration under the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR); some items may only travel on freighter aircraft. Özd Global checks the IATA classification of your cargo in advance, prepares the required documents and suggests a road or sea alternative where air is not suitable.
