Why Ship By Air

If you need your vehicles shipped overseas quickly, air freight is the fastest shipping method. Compared to shipping by ocean which can take weeks, your car or motorcycle is only a flight away from its destination. However, vehicles are still required to clear customs which can delay shipments unless documentation is cleared prior to departure. Talk to us about how we can help expedite your vehicle shipments using air freight.
