What is Air Freight?
Air freight is the commercial transportation of goods by aircraft — either in dedicated cargo planes or as belly cargo in passenger aircraft. It is the fastest mode of international cargo movement, making it the preferred choice for time-sensitive, high-value, or perishable shipments.
Unlike sea freight which measures cargo in containers, air freight is charged based on actual weight or volumetric weight — whichever is higher. CargoMate manages the full lifecycle — booking, documentation, customs clearance at origin and destination, and delivery from all major Indian airports.
