WHAT AFFECTS EMERGENCY AIR CARGO RATES?

Our pricing is based on six key factors. Understanding these helps you plan and budget for time-critical shipments.

1. URGENCY LEVEL

The #1 pricing factor. How fast do you need it?

  • CRITICAL (0-6 hours): Next flight out, premium rates
  • URGENT (6-24 hours): Same-day delivery, expedited rates
  • PRIORITY (24-48 hours): Next-day service, standard rates
  • EXPEDITED (2-3 days): Fast but flexible, economical rates

Rule of thumb: Faster service = higher rate, but sometimes saving hours saves thousands in downtime.

2. WEIGHT & DIMENSIONS

Size matters. Cargo charged by actual or volumetric weight (whichever is greater).

  • Actual Weight: Cargo weight in kg/lbs
  • Volumetric Weight: (L ร— W ร— H) รท 6000 for air freight
  • Chargeable Weight: Higher of the two
  • Oversized Cargo: Additional handling surcharges may apply

Tip: Compact packaging can significantly reduce volumetric weight and lower rates.

3. ORIGIN & DESTINATION

Distance and routes. Major hubs offer more options and competitive rates.

  • Major Hub to Hub: Most economical (LAX-JFK, LHR-DXB)
  • Regional Airports: May require connections, add 15-25%
  • Remote Locations: Ground transport adds to total cost
  • International: Customs clearance fees included in quote

We serve 156+ countries with optimized routing for the best price-speed balance.

4. CARGO TYPE

Special handling = special pricing. Some cargo requires extra care and equipment.

  • Standard Cargo: Base rates apply
  • Temperature-Controlled: +20-40% for refrigeration/heating
  • Hazardous Materials: +30-50% for dangerous goods handling
  • High-Value Items: Insurance and security costs
  • Oversized/Heavy: Special equipment surcharges

Medical, pharmaceutical, and perishable goods fall into temperature-controlled category.

5. SERVICE LEVEL

Choose your commitment level. More hands-on service comes at a premium.

  • Airport-to-Airport: Most economical, you handle pickup/delivery
  • Door-to-Door: +15-30% for full logistics service
  • Hand-Carry Service: +50-100% for courier accompaniment
  • Dedicated Charter: Premium pricing for exclusive aircraft

AOG (Aircraft on Ground) emergencies often require hand-carry or charter service.

6. CUSTOMS & COMPLIANCE

International shipments only. Cross-border logistics add complexity and costs.

  • Customs Clearance: Standard fees ($150-500 depending on country)
  • Duties & Taxes: Varies by country and cargo value (you pay)
  • Emergency Clearance: Expedited processing available (+20-30%)
  • Documentation: We handle all paperwork included in quote

Our customs brokerage network ensures smooth clearance in 156+ countries.

WHAT DETERMINES YOUR RATE?

Your emergency air cargo rate is customized based on these critical factors. No two shipments are identical.

Urgency Level

Critical (0-6hrs), Urgent (6-24hrs), Priority (24-48hrs), or Expedited (2-3 days). Faster = premium rates.

Weight & Size

Charged by actual or volumetric weight (whichever is greater). Compact packaging saves money.

Route & Distance

Major hubs offer best rates. Remote locations require additional ground transport coordination.

Cargo Type

Special handling for temperature-controlled, hazmat, high-value, or oversized shipments adds costs.

Every shipment is unique - rates vary based on your specific requirements

EMERGENCY AIR CARGO PRICING FAQ

How fast can I get a quote?

Our emergency pricing team typically responds within 15 minutes, 24/7/365. For straightforward shipments, you'll often receive your quote 60 mins. Complex shipments requiring specialized handling or multiple routing options may take longer as we confirm aircraft availability and optimize your solution.

Are there hidden fees I should know about?

No hidden fees, ever. Your quote includes all costs: air freight, fuel surcharges, security fees, documentation, and our service fee. The only additional costs would be: (1) customs duties/taxes (which you pay directly to customs), (2) optional insurance upgrades, or (3) changes you request after booking. We'll flag these clearly in your quote.

Can I get a discount for volume or regular use?

Yes! We offer volume discounts for shipments over 500kg and preferential rates for customers with regular emergency shipping needs. If you anticipate multiple shipments per month, ask about our corporate emergency accounts with pre-negotiated rates and priority service.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex), wire transfer, and corporate accounts jet cards. For urgent shipments, we can arrange payment before pickup to avoid any delays.

How does your pricing compare to standard air cargo?

Emergency air cargo rates are 2-4x standard air freight rates due to priority booking, next-flight-out coordination, and 24/7 operations. However, when you factor in the cost of production downtime ($1,000-50,000/hour), lost revenue, or critical medical needs, emergency rates deliver massive ROI. We're not the cheapest - we're the fastest and most reliable when seconds count.

What if my cargo is delayed - do I still pay full price?

We guarantee on-time delivery based on the urgency level you select. If we miss the promised delivery time due to our error (not weather, customs, or other factors beyond our control), we'll refund the urgency premium portion of your rate. Your cargo coordinator will keep you updated throughout the journey. *terms and conditions apply.
