Air
International air freight means carrying cargo between countries by aircraft. It is the fastest and the safest mode, and it suits high value cargo, perishables and anything that has to land on a fixed date.
Morning Logistics books space with 13 major airlines, handles the cargo at the airport terminal itself and hands it over inside the window agreed.
Scope of work
Space held on 13 major airlines, direct and connecting. Your coordinator compares the options to balance the freight cost against the delivery date.
Temperature held to the airline’s standard, with priority handling and a fast handover at the terminal so the cold chain does not break.
Classified under the IATA DGR, with the shipper’s declaration prepared and UN standard packing completed before the cargo enters the terminal.
Our own staff on station at the cargo terminal to weigh, measure, label and tally: the TCS and SCSC terminals at Tan Son Nhat, and the cargo terminal at Noi Bai.
Packing and crating to air standard, done at the airport and finished before the cargo cut-off time.
Customs declarations filed on your behalf for export and import shipments, and the declaration closed out at the airport once the cargo is away.
Documents and samples delivered to the door within a few days depending on the lane, on a door-to-door basis.
Replacement equipment for a line that has stopped, including a charter flight when the piece will not fit in the standard hold.
We take the weight, the dimensions and the lane, work out the chargeable weight and quote.
Space held with the airline for the departure date you want.
Packed to air standard, with the AWB and any specialised paperwork prepared.
Customs declaration filed and the cargo delivered into the terminal before cut-off.
Status updated leg by leg, with final leg delivery in the receiving country.
