About Airfreight Services
Some cargo simply cannot wait for the next vessel.
Early-season fruit, samples, high-value produce or cargo affected by a missed sailing may need to move by air. GoReefers manages the airfreight process from securing space and negotiating rates through to airport handling and the required documentation.
Because airfreight forms part of our wider freight offering, we can also help move cargo between sea and air when circumstances change — without having to start the process from scratch.

AIRFREIGHT SERVICES:FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Does GoReefers offer airfreight as well as sea freight?
Yes. GoReefers provides airfreight alongside its sea freight services, covering rate negotiation, bookings, cargo handling and air export documentation.
When does airfreight make sense for fresh produce?
Airfreight makes sense when time matters more than cost per kilogram — early-season fruit chasing a market window, high-value produce with a short shelf life, samples, or recovery shipments after a missed sailing.
Can perishable cargo be shipped by air under temperature control?
Yes. Temperature-controlled uplift can be specified at booking, and handling at the airport is coordinated to limit the time cargo spends outside a controlled environment.
