Air imports and exports on European and intercontinental routes, with transit time and cost agreed before departure.
Air Freight
Air Freight: international air shipments under control.
VECTUM is an air freight forwarder that coordinates the whole chain: road pickup, consolidation, flight, customs support and final delivery. International air freight for scheduled routes and air cargo services for recurring volumes, with a single contact.
The service
When cost is the constraint, not only time
Air Freight is the air leg of Global Freight: international shipments on planned volumes and recurring routes, where timing and price are built through planning rather than urgency. It is the right choice for regular import/export flows, supplies to plants abroad and shipments that must arrive within days, not hours.
The difference is made by the chain around the flight. We coordinate the pickup of the goods, prepare documents and customs formalities together with the booking, choose between consolidated and dedicated based on deadline and budget, and follow the shipment through to the POD. If the deadline tightens, the same Control Tower can move the shipment to a Next Flight Out or a charter without changing contact; if there is margin, sea-air or sea can reduce the cost.

FAQ
What is the difference between consolidated and dedicated air freight?
Consolidated shares flight capacity with other shipments and optimises cost; dedicated reserves capacity or a whole aircraft for guaranteed timing. VECTUM proposes the solution based on deadline and budget.
Do you also handle customs?
Yes: export/import documentation and coordination with customs brokers are part of the service, with one contact for the whole flow.
What goods can you ship by air?
General cargo, dangerous goods (DG) with IATA documentation, temperature-controlled shipments and out-of-gauge pieces subject to verification.
How do I request an air freight quote?
Fill in the “Request a quote” form with origin, destination, weight/volume and deadline: the Control Tower replies with transit time, options (consolidated, dedicated, priority) and cost.
Do you offer door to door air freight?
Yes. The door to door air freight service covers pickup, export, flight, import and final delivery with POD, coordinated by a single contact.
What does an air freight forwarder do compared to an air freight company?
A forwarder like VECTUM designs the shipment and coordinates air carriers, handling and customs; unlike many air freight companies, we also coordinate the first and last mile with direct capacity and qualified operators.
Do you handle multimodal international freight forwarding?
Yes: international freight forwarding by air, sea and road, with international cargo transportation planned on recurring routes and sea-air options to optimise cost and time.
