Overview

How we handle air freight

Air freight is what you reach for when the production line is down, the exhibition opens on Thursday, or the goods are simply worth more than the freight bill. We book on the carriers serving Beirut and the regional hubs, both in the belly of passenger aircraft and on dedicated freighters.

Because the value of air freight is speed, the paperwork moves first. The air waybill and clearance file are prepared while the cargo is still being packed, so nothing sits on the ramp waiting for a document to arrive.

One team, one reference number, and the same person answering the phone from the first quote to the final delivery.

What's included

Everything under air freight

Next flight out

For genuine emergencies — spare parts, tender documents, medical consignments. We book the earliest departure with space, whatever the routing looks like.

Consolidated air freight

Shared air waybills on our regular lanes bring the rate down considerably for cargo that is urgent but not critical.

Airport-to-door and door-to-door

Collection from the shipper, export handling, the flight, and clearance plus final delivery at the other end, all on one reference number.

Charter and part charter

Where the volume, the weight or the deadline rules out scheduled services, we will price a charter and tell you honestly whether it is worth it.

Perishables and pharma

Temperature-sensitive cargo booked on services that can actually hold the cold chain, with the health certificates and permits arranged in parallel.

Sea-air combinations

Ocean to a hub and air onward — a middle ground that cuts the transit time significantly without paying the full air rate for the whole distance.

How it runs

From enquiry to delivery

The same sequence every time, so you always know which stage your shipment is at and who is holding it.

1
Enquiry and space check

Tell us the chargeable weight, dimensions and the deadline. We check live availability before quoting rather than after.
2
Booking and collection

Space held on a named flight, cargo collected, and export handling completed at the terminal.
3
Documents and security

Air waybill issued, security screening arranged and any dangerous goods paperwork checked against IATA rules.
4
Departure and arrival

Flight details confirmed to you on departure, and the destination office alerted before the aircraft lands.
5
Clearance and delivery

Import clearance filed against the pre-sent documents and the shipment delivered the same or next working day.

Questions

What customers ask

If yours isn't here, send it over — we would rather answer it before the booking than after.

On chargeable weight — the greater of actual gross weight and volumetric weight. Send dimensions with your enquiry and the quote will be accurate rather than indicative.

For urgent shipments, yes. Tell us the deadline and we will arrange collection around it.

Almost always documents, not flights. Incomplete invoices, a missing certificate of origin or an unsigned DG declaration cost more time than any routing decision.

Yes, under the applicable IATA packing instructions. We need the UN number, the state of charge and the packing details before booking.
