Air freight refers to the process of organizing and facilitating air transportation solutions for lightweight cargo which may need quick attention and delivery. The air freight shipment can travel anywhere designed for planes to land and take off. The air freight mode of goods transportation has become most common among most business owners today. In the recent past, delivering products to remote areas inaccessible by road required air freight. Today, air freight has made it possible to carry bulky cargo, which was only possible by the use of sea freight.

Sea freight is a mode of transportation that uses cargo ships. Commodities are arranged in containers and then loaded onto ships according to the destination country. Sea freight is used for large and heavy cargo that takes longer to reach the destination. However, sea freight can handle the transportation of cargo that is considered dangerous and flammable.

Customers choose between air and sea freight depending on the type of commodities to move, the cost of transportation, duration of the travel, and the condition of products. Some commodities are considered too risky to transport by air, such as harmful chemicals, fuels and perishable goods due to temperature, which should never be transported by air cargo services.
