When time is tight, but budgets matter just as much, air freight becomes more than just a logistics option, it becomes a solution. Whether you’re delivering medical equipment across the continent or sending components overseas for a manufacturing line, speed without overspending is non-negotiable.
At Transglobal Cargo, we know how to strike that perfect balance. Our air freight services are built for African businesses that need reliable lift-off, without sky-high costs. And no matter the urgency or cargo size, we have the flight path to match.
Reliable Air Freight, Made Affordable
Contrary to what many believe, air freight doesn’t always mean expensive. With the right planning, consolidation strategies, and trusted airline partnerships, it’s possible to send cargo quickly and cost-effectively.
That’s exactly what we offer at Transglobal:
- Direct access to leading air cargo carriers
- Flexible options for both urgent and scheduled loads
- Full handling of documentation, customs, and last-mile delivery
- Live tracking with our TransIT system, so you’re never left guessing
From Johannesburg to Nairobi, Cape Town to Frankfurt, we keep your shipments moving through the air, not stuck on the ground.
Choose the Right Air Freight Option for Your Shipment
No two shipments are the same, which is why we offer multiple air freight modes tailored to your cargo’s urgency, size, and budget.
Red-Hot Express Service
When every hour counts, think of emergency supplies, critical machinery, or medical kits. Our Red-Hot service is built to move. Your cargo gets priority handling, fast clearance, and the earliest available flights.
Use this when:
- You need delivery within 24–72 hours
- The cargo is urgent, high-value, or temperature-sensitive
- Delay isn’t an option
Consolidated Air Freight
Why pay for an entire flight slot when you can share it? Our consolidated service bundles smaller shipments into one flight, so you get the benefit of air speed at shared, reduced rates.
Use this when:
- Your cargo is not urgent, but you still want fast delivery
- You want to save on cost by sharing space with others
- You’re shipping to major routes with frequent departures
Deferred Air Freight
Need predictability without rush? Our deferred option is ideal for planned shipments. We schedule your cargo on the next available low-priority flight, with guaranteed delivery windows that suit your business flow.
Use this when:
- You’re sending promotional items, stock replenishments, or non-urgent goods
- Cost control is more important than speed
- You want guaranteed space on scheduled routes
End-to-End Service, So You Don’t Have to Worry About Anything
