Air freight is the method of transporting goods by aircraft, providing the fastest and most reliable delivery method for time-sensitive, high-value, or perishable shipments. In the context of CH Logistics, air freight is a core service for exporters and importers who require the rapid movement of fresh produce from South Africa to international markets, especially European destinations.
The air freight process at CH Logistics begins with a detailed assessment of your cargo’s characteristics, including size, weight, perishability, and required temperature ranges. We work closely with our clients to select the most suitable flights and carriers, ensuring that your goods are handled with the utmost care throughout their journey. Our team manages all aspects of air freight, including booking, packaging, compliance with IATA regulations, export documentation, and customs clearance. Specialized packaging solutions, such as insulated containers and gel packs, are used to maintain optimal product temperatures during transit.
CH Logistics leverages real-time tracking and monitoring technology to provide complete visibility over every shipment. If there are any deviations—such as flight delays, temperature excursions, or customs issues—our team acts immediately to resolve them and keep your supply chain moving. Air freight is particularly valuable for highly perishable items such as berries, stone fruits, and certain vegetables, where even a slight delay can result in significant losses.
