Are you looking for air freight shipping services for the transport of freight or goods by air?

AEROAFFAIRES, air broker for more than 30 years, offers you a wide range of cargo aircraft ready for rental all over the world.

We allocate you a freight transport expert to advise you and find the best solutions to make sure all sure goods are safely flown out to their destination, with the greatest care and at the best price.

Why choose tailor-made air freight shipping?

Tailor-made air freight avoids the constraints of international cargo airlines. AEROAFFAIRES allows you to immediately deliver freight at your choice of date and time.

Customised cargo transportation allows you to transfer cargo to airports located as close as possible to its final destination. Cargo airlines, in comparison, only serve a handful of airports in each country. In France, more than 90% of air freight is handled at Paris Charles-De-Gaulle airport, while regional airports are building their capacities as logistics hubs. This is notably the case for Lyon Saint-Exupéry, Châteauroux-Centre and Paris-Vatry, which can handle freight 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The time saved by renting a private cargo plane is therefore invaluable compared to other modes of transport, such as by road or by using an air freight operator.

In addition, while global air cargo traffic represents only 3% of the volume of goods sent across the world, it nevertheless accounts for 45% of their value. Cargo planes allow for the quick and highly secure transport of goods, which explains why 61.2 million tonnes of high-value cargo were transported by air in 2019.

How much does it cost for air freight transport?

The price for air freight transport depends on many factors, such as the weight and size of the cargo, the type of aircraft required, the airports of departure and destination, or the type of goods transported, all have a major influence on the price. For this reason, price estimates can only be made on a case-by-case basis.
