Air Freight Shipping with Speed and Reliability
When delivery speed is critical or conventional transport falls short, air freight is the ideal solution. ICC Courier offers specialised air freight services, allowing parcels to reach islands or remote areas in as little as 24 hours.
The service is designed for shipments that demand speed, reliability and accuracy, offering alternative routes when sea transport is not possible.
When Is Air Freight Chosen?
Air transport is chosen mainly when:
- The destination is on an island that has no frequent ferry connection.
- There is an urgent need for delivery (e.g. tender documents, medicines, spare parts).
- There is a demanding schedule that road or sea transport cannot meet.
Advantages of ICC's Air Freight Service
Air freight with ICC is not simply a faster option. It is a complete service that meets particular needs for moving parcels, especially when time is decisive.
- Priority in pickup and processing. Shipments in the air freight programme get priority in collection, registration and routing, so that the time between pickup and departure is kept to a minimum.
- Connection to a network of partner airlines. ICC works with reliable air partners, securing parcels a place on frequent, regular flights to key island or remote destinations, even in periods of high demand.
- Real-time tracking. The sender knows at all times where the parcel is, from pickup to delivery, with updates by email or SMS.
- Shipment insurance, on request. Air freight shipments can optionally be insured, which is especially useful when the contents are sensitive or of high value.
Delivery Times and Availability
Under normal conditions, delivery takes place within 24 hours of shipping, with same-day delivery possible to selected destinations. To ensure timely arrival, the shipment should be made early in the day, so that it joins the next flight.
