Air freight is the fastest way to deliver cargo over long distances. We do more than book space on a flight: we organize the full cycle from cargo pickup to delivery at the consignee's warehouse, with customs clearance under a single contract.
Not an aggregator or a broker. Personalized flight selection based on the cargo's characteristics: weight, volume, temperature regime, and hazard class. Direct contracts with airlines give priority access to lift capacity even in peak season.
Our employees work directly at airports — supervising acceptance, loading, and document processing. This eliminates cargo loss at handover points between contractors and provides real status information instead of a system's “awaiting departure”.
One contract covers the entire cycle: cargo pickup, air transportation, customs clearance, and ground delivery to the warehouse. There is no need to sign 5 separate contracts with different contractors. Unified liability — when a problem arises, one partner handles it, not five.
Cargo is not always ready for shipment on the day of the flight. We schedule dispatch around the actual date the goods are ready. This eliminates warehouse downtime and extra storage costs before departure.
Air freight is used for cargo where speed, integrity, or temperature control is critical. Below are the key categories we have configured solutions for.
| Category | Product examples |
|---|---|
| Electronics and components | Smartphones, laptops, servers, chips, and components worth $200–500K per shipment |
| Pharmaceuticals and MedTech | Medicines, pharmaceuticals, diagnostic equipment, and consumables requiring a temperature regime |
| Fashion and textiles | Seasonal clothing collections, premium textiles, and accessories with tight delivery deadlines |
| Industrial equipment | Machine tools, spare parts for production lines, and units for urgent installation and repair |
| Cosmetics and perfumery | Perfumes, cosmetics, and personal care products — cargo with temperature and handling requirements |
| Fresh products | Fresh and ultra-fresh foods, berries, seafood — cargo with a limited shelf life |
| Dangerous goods (DGR) | Lithium batteries, chemical reagents, aerosols — Dangerous Goods class cargo |
| Urgent samples and documents | Samples for certification, contracts, drawings, and prototypes for exhibitions and presentations |
Air freight is divided into domestic Russian and international. The choice depends on the origin and destination, as well as on the cargo's characteristics.

Our employees work directly at airports — supervising acceptance, loading, and document processing. This eliminates cargo loss at handover points between contractors and provides real-time information on the status of the flight and cargo.
One contract covers the entire cycle: cargo pickup, air transportation, customs clearance, and ground delivery. When a problem arises, one partner handles it instead of five different contractors blaming each other. This reduces the risk of losses and simplifies communication.
Experience with complex routes, including transit through third countries. When direct flights are unavailable or restricted, we build a route via transit hubs with minimal connection time. This is especially relevant under sanctions restrictions and for non-standard destinations.
Cargo with magnetic properties requires special preparation for air transportation. Without expertise, preparation can cost up to 70% of the budget in unnecessary spending. Our specialists know airline requirements and prepare cargo correctly — with no overpayments.
Offices in Shanghai and Chengdu. Local specialists arrange factory cargo pickup, document checks, and packaging. This eliminates errors at the dispatch stage and reduces processing time at the departure airport.
Shipment status tracking: current cargo location, ETA, and clearance status at the airport. Managers in different time zones provide continuous monitoring and prompt response to disruptions — flight cancellations, delays, and inspections.
Air freight solves challenges where speed is critical for the business. Below are typical scenarios we have configured logistics solutions for.
A manufacturing plant is idle due to a shortage of components. Air freight from China — 48–72 hours instead of 14–20 days by rail. Our own employee in Shanghai arranges factory pickup and documentation. Customs at the arrival airport — under a single contract. Result: the line is up and running in 4 days instead of 3 weeks of downtime.
A clothing distributor receives a new collection late from the supplier. Air freight from Europe ensures delivery by the start of the sales season. Ground delivery from the airport to the distribution center — under a single contract. Result: the collection is in stores on time and seasonal sales are not lost.
A pharmaceutical company ships a batch of medicines with temperature control. Air freight with temperature indicators; our own employee at the airport supervises acceptance and loading. Customs clearance and delivery to the warehouse — in a single loop. Result: the temperature chain is not broken and the cargo is delivered on time.
You submit a request specifying the cargo characteristics: weight, volume, origin and destination, temperature regime, and hazard class. A dedicated manager selects the optimal flight based on the cargo readiness date.
In the country of origin — our own staff or vetted partners arrange cargo pickup from the factory or warehouse. Document checks, packaging, and labeling. In China — offices in Shanghai and Chengdu.
Preparing the cargo for air transportation: packaging to IATA requirements, magnetic inspections where necessary, and issuance of the air waybill (AWB). For dangerous goods (DGR) — declaration and special packaging.
Loading onto the flight and status monitoring. Our own staff at the airport supervise the process. If the flight is canceled or delayed — prompt rebooking onto an alternative flight.
Cargo arrival. Our own employee at the destination airport supervises acceptance, checks the cargo's condition, and processes documents. For temperature-controlled cargo — verification of temperature indicators.
Customs clearance at the arrival airport — under a single contract. HS classification, calculation of duties and VAT, release for free circulation. Priority handling for urgent cargo.
Ground delivery from the airport to the consignee's warehouse — by truck. Refrigerated trucks for temperature-controlled cargo. The full cycle under a single contract: from factory pickup to warehouse delivery.
Air freight is part of the logistics chain. We provide additional services that make delivery “door to door” rather than “airport to airport”.
HS classification, calculation and payment of duties, VAT, and excises. Release for free circulation at the arrival airport — under a single contract with air transportation.
Delivery from the airport to the consignee's warehouse by truck. Refrigerated trucks for temperature-controlled cargo. Express delivery for urgent shipments.
Comprehensive insurance at every stage of transportation. The maximum insured amount is up to RUB 1.5 billion. Coverage: damage, theft, loss, and natural disasters.
Preparing cargo for air transportation to IATA requirements. For dangerous goods (DGR) — declaration and special packaging. Magnetic inspections — savings of up to 70% on preparation.
Acceptance, deconsolidation, and cross-docking at our own warehouses in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, and Vladivostok. Storage until further delivery.
Status tracking: current cargo location, ETA, and clearance status. Managers in different time zones — continuous monitoring and prompt response.
We do not just book space on a flight. We organize the full cycle: cargo pickup in the country of origin, air transportation, customs clearance, and ground delivery to the warehouse — under a single contract. Our own staff at airports control every stage. When a problem arises, you turn to one partner instead of five different contractors.
