Consolidated Air Freight Services

Consolidated Air Freight Services

If you have decided to use air freight consolidation to transport your cargo, let Brook Freight Forwarding Services facilitate the move. Our experienced freight forwarding team applies their attention to detail to every shipment, ensuring that it arrives on time and in excellent condition. We also negotiate competitive rates through our large network of freight forwarders, making it as cost-effective as possible for you to transport your goods using air consolidation.

Air cargo consolidation is the practice of combining lots from multiple consignees into one shipment (i.e. your cargo will share space with other shippers’ cargo on an aircraft). All shipments will be listed under the same master way bill, but each individual shipment will also have a house way bill to help keep the cargo organized. This freight forwarding method is ideal for anyone who does not have a large enough order to fill a plane on their own and wants to save on the cost of shipping.

One downside of the consolidated shipping approach is that shippers will have to wait until a plane has enough cargo to make up a full load. Air consolidations are most commonly booked for the weekend, but midweek consolidations are also sometimes available. For those who have an urgent shipment that needs to get to its destination on a tight deadline, Global Shipping also offers air cargo charter services.

Benefits of Air Freight Consolidation:

  • Efficiency: Consolidated shipping makes sense to both shippers and airlines, as it is more cost-effective to fly a plane with a full cargo load than to fly one with only a partial load.
  • Lower Cost: Because freight consolidation is more effective than charter services, it is also less expensive. If you decide to ship your goods by air, this is the most affordable way to do it.
  • Fast: While more expensive than sharing a shipping container on a cargo ship, cargo consolidation is also substantially faster than shipping your goods by ocean. If you need to have a relatively quick turnaround from the time you place an order to the time your shipment arrives at its destination, you should opt to transport your cargo by air.
