Air Freight vs Sea Freight: When to Choose Air Freight
Air freight is the optimal shipping method when:
- Speed is Critical: Urgent shipments requiring delivery in 2-7 days vs 15-40 days by sea
- High-Value Goods: Electronics, pharmaceuticals, fashion items where security and speed matter
- Small Volumes: Shipments under 100kg that are more cost-effective by air
- Perishable Items: Fresh produce, flowers, pharmaceuticals requiring temperature control
- Just-in-Time Inventory: Businesses reducing inventory costs with faster delivery
- Seasonal or Time-Sensitive Products: Fashion, electronics launches, promotional materials
- Documentation and Samples: Important documents, product samples, prototypes
While air freight costs 5-10 times more per kilogram than sea freight, the speed and security benefits often justify the premium for time-sensitive or high-value cargo. For larger volumes where time isn't critical, consider our sea freight services through Aqaba Port. Contact our team to determine the best shipping method for your needs.
