What is air freight?
Air freight services refer to the transportation of goods by aircraft from one location to another, typically between countries or distant regions. This method is ideal for businesses that require fast delivery, handle high-value goods, or have strict requirements for timing and safety.
Compared to traditional methods such as road, sea, or rail transport, air freight offers significant advantages—especially for industries like manufacturing, e-commerce, F&B, pharmaceuticals, and supporting industries.
Why choose air freight?
Air freight is the fastest method of transportation today, especially suitable for shipments that need to be delivered urgently or have a short shelf life.
High safety, incident and accident rates are significantly lower than road, sea or rail.
Minimize the risk of breakage, loss and theft, thanks to strict control procedures at airports and short transit times.
Not limited by terrain conditions, allowing connection to most countries and territories in the world through a global airport network.
Phoenix Logistics holds long-term contracts with major airlines, enabling us to negotiate preferential rates that individual customers or small businesses cannot access on their own. As a result, customers can save 20–40% on air freight costs while still receiving the high-quality service they expect.
Beyond freight rates, Phoenix helps businesses optimize total logistics costs—including warehousing, packaging, customs clearance, and unexpected charges from shipment delays. With efficient coordination and multi-industry experience, we ensure each shipment achieves the best possible cost-to-performance ratio.
Not just freight rates, Phoenix helps businesses optimize overall logistics costs, including storage costs, packaging, customs clearance, fees incurred due to delayed shipments, etc.

Customs declaration, air packing, AWB code processing
Instructions for preparing import and export documents according to each country's standards
Phoenix Logistics constantly updates new regulations on customs, tariffs, import-export policies in major markets (USA, EU, Japan, China...). We help businesses avoid common errors such as: incorrect HS code, lack of original documents, or violations of aviation safety regulations - thereby avoiding risks of delays, fines or customs clearance refusal.
Phoenix not only chooses the fastest flight, but also plans the optimal transportation from start to finish: pickup, check-in, connecting flights, final delivery. As a result, the goods arrive on time – no delays, no disruptions to the supply chain.
In addition, instead of fixing a single airline, Phoenix Logistics will advise on choosing the most suitable airline according to the characteristics of the goods, destination and budget of the business. For example:-
Cold shipping → prioritize carriers with good heat retention service
-
Send AOG goods → priority given to airlines with continuous, high-frequency flights
-
Send goods economically → choose a carrier with reasonable rates by region
Flexibility in itinerary design helps customers optimize speed, cost and safety.

Why should you choose an air freight forwarder like Phoenix Logistics?
When choosing air freight, many first-time businesses often consider sending goods directly through airlines such as Cathay Pacific, Emirates, Korean Air, Qatar Airways, etc. However, businesses with experience in import and export often prioritize cooperation with professional freight forwarders such as Phoenix Logistics for very clear reasons regarding cost, efficiency and flexibility.
