Air freight

International shipping by air, when you can't miss the deadline

A full suite of global airfreight services for short lead times, tight deadlines, high-value commodities and perishables — including expedited service and global air freight management.

Why UWL for air

The fastest mode, handled by experienced people who care

Air freight is the right mode when lead times are short, deadlines are tight, or the cargo is high-value or perishable. Shipping by air minimises the movement and stress the cargo is exposed to, and it is a secure method of transport.

Frequent flights mean speed and consistency, and the reach means your cargo can move virtually anywhere in the world.

Our team of air freight specialists connects your products to the rest of that network, with customs brokerage handled in-house for any U.S. destination rather than passed to a third party.
