In instances where production is halted and a vital component is missing, sending cargo by air is the ideal solution to your challenges. Air cargo can be transported between Europe and Asia on the same or following day. EDS collaborates with some of the most prominent production companies in Sweden and supports larger transportation firms. We’re here to facilitate your time-sensitive deliveries or function as your all-encompassing air cargo logistics partner. With us, you’ll receive personalized service 24/7, 365 days a year.
Benefits of air cargo shipping
Air cargo logistics allow for the speediest and most precise movement of your goods from origin to destination. Air cargo services come into play for example when there is a need to deliver an essential component for a malfunctioning machine to avert production disruption, or to transport time-bound items such as human organs that need to be delivered to a patient within a timely manner. Whereas sea freight can take several weeks, air cargo delivery can occur on the same day or within a week, contingent on the urgency of the delivery.
Customers at EDS can also easily track their air cargo delivery when they opt for air freight as their mode of transport.

FAQ
Air cargo refers to the shipment of goods via an air carrier. This mode of transport is used to ship goods across countries and continents quickly and efficiently. The shipping of air cargo involves several stages including warehousing, distribution, and airport handling. It can include various types of cargo, including letters, small packages, large freight shipments, and special cargo like temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals or live animals.
Air cargo and air freight are often used interchangeably in the logistics industry. However, if a distinction is made, air freight may refer more specifically to the cargo moved by air, while air cargo can encompass the entire process involved in moving goods from the origin to the destination, including handling, warehousing, and distribution services.
Air cargo logistics offers several advantages:
- Speed: Air cargo is the fastest mode of transport, capable of delivering goods across long distances in a matter of hours or days.
- Reliability: Air carriers often operate on strict schedules, resulting in high reliability and lower risk of delays.
- Global Reach: Air cargo can reach remote or landlocked locations where sea, rail, or road transport might not be feasible.
- Security: The security measures at airports and during transit tend to be very high, reducing the risk of theft and damage.
- Traceability: Most air cargo services offer comprehensive tracking, allowing shippers to monitor their consignment throughout its journey.
- Reduced Packaging: As air transport requires less heavy packaging than sea or road freight, this can result in cost savings.
Various types of cargo are transported by air due to its speed, reliability, and global reach. These include, but are not limited to: Perishable goods, pharmaceuticals and Healthcare products, E-commerce goods, Electronics and High-Tech equipment, Fashion and Retail Goods, Automotive parts, Dangerous goods, Mail and Documents, Live Animal, and Valuable goods.
