Air freight is the right choice when your goods are time-critical, high-value, or when sea freight transit times would cause stock-outs or missed deadlines. While more expensive per kg than sea freight, air freight eliminates the risk of long delays and reduces inventory holding costs. Carrgo's freight specialists can help you calculate the true cost comparison between air and sea for your specific cargo.
From China (Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou), air freight to UK takes 3–5 days. From India (Delhi, Mumbai), expect 2–4 days. From the UAE (Dubai), 1–2 days. From the USA, 1–2 days. From Europe, next-day or 2-day services are available. Carrgo works with all major airlines and freight consolidators to secure the best rates and schedules for your shipment.
Air freight is priced per kg (actual or volumetric weight, whichever is greater). Rates from China to UK typically range from £3–£8 per kg depending on volume, route, and market conditions. Carrgo provides all-inclusive air freight quotes covering airline charges, fuel surcharges, security fees, UK customs clearance, and airport handling. No hidden fees.
Express air freight (e.g., DHL, FedEx, UPS) offers door-to-door delivery in 1–3 days but at premium rates. Economy air freight uses cargo airlines and takes 3–7 days at lower rates. Carrgo offers both options and will recommend the best solution based on your urgency and budget.
