Air Freight Services
In a fast-paced world, customers often require goods to be delivered as soon as possible, which is why air freight services are becoming increasingly important for time-sensitive, urgent consignments. For the most urgent deliveries, priority shipments are available to ensure your goods arrive as quickly as possible. Air freight is often the fastest, most secure, and most direct mode of transport for your exports and imports.
At Wallis Shipping, we offer a comprehensive range of air freight logistics solutions tailored to meet customer needs, from small, urgent cargo couriers to full air charter services, as well as oversized air freight project cargo.
Compared to sea or land transport, air freight offers significant advantages in speed and flexibility, making it ideal for time-sensitive shipments.
With our extensive network and global freight forwarding partners at hand, we offer a door-to-door service anywhere in the world, or just arrival at the nearest airport. Our expertise in flight logistics enables us to select the most efficient flight routes, thereby optimising delivery times and costs. With our air freight import service, we also help organise customs clearance and delivery for air cargo arriving in the UK, providing solutions tailored to the specific requirements of each client.

Can Wallis Shipping reach remote locations?
At Wallis Shipping, we frequently utilise air freight logistics to access remote locations where traditional communication links don’t support sea and road operations. We frequently deliver foreign aid to landlocked regions of Africa, and as such, air transportation is the most effective method for transporting perishable goods, with specific measures taken to protect sensitive shipments during transit.
Will I be updated on the progress of my shipment?
With the speed at which air freight travels, we must stay in close contact to maintain communication and service standards throughout the shipment journey, ensuring you and the buyer are kept informed of progress.
