Air Freight

When time is the binding constraint and the cargo cannot sit waiting for space.

Overview

Held capacity, not hopeful capacity.

Most delays in airfreight are not flying delays. They are space delays — cargo bumped for a higher-yield load, sitting in a shed for the next rotation.

We hold block space on our core lanes rather than booking ad hoc, so a Zelofreight consignment is not the one that gets offloaded. Where a shipment genuinely cannot wait, we charter: full aircraft, part charter, or an on-board courier for anything small enough to travel in a seat.

Every consignment carries temperature and shock logging as standard, and the data comes to you with the delivery file — not on request. For high-value freight we place a supercargo on the aircraft and attend both ramps in person, which is the only way to be certain about handling you would otherwise never see.
