Goods transported by air cargo typically have one or more of the following characteristics: they are time-critical, high-value, perishable or prone to supply chain risks.
Perishables.
Fresh flowers, fish, meat, vegetables and fruits are often transported by air freight. The speed ensures that the products arrive at the final destination in optimal condition.
Pharmaceuticals
Medicines, vaccines and clinical study materials require strict temperature control and short lead times. Air cargo meets these requirements with GDP-compliant solutions.
High-tech and electronics
Smartphones, laptops and parts for the high-tech industry are high-value and sensitive to market pressures. Air freight minimizes inventory costs and delivers quickly.
Luxury and fashion goods
Designer clothing, watches and jewelry are often transported by air to serve peaks in demand quickly, for example around holidays and fashion seasons.
Express shipments and parts
Industries such as automotive and mechanical engineering use air freight for critical parts. This prevents downtime in production processes.
Mail & e-commerce
With the growth of online commerce, small packages and express shipments are increasingly being sent by air freight, especially towards consumer markets outside of Europe.
ADR goods (subject to conditions)
Certain dangerous goods may be transported by air provided they are packed and documented in accordance with IATA regulations. Neele-Vat offers specialized solutions for this.
