Common Questions
Air Freight FAQ
When should I choose air freight over sea freight?
Air freight is ideal when time is critical — for perishables, pharmaceuticals, high-value cargo or emergency spare parts. Air transit from India to major destinations is 2–7 days versus 15–45 days by sea.
Can ISLF handle Dangerous Goods (DGR) by air?
Yes. ISLF manages IATA DGR compliant air shipments — classification, packaging, marking, labelling, documentation and airline approvals for all classes of dangerous goods.
Does ISLF offer air charter services from India?
Yes — full and part aircraft charters for time-critical, oversized or high-volume cargo where scheduled airline capacity is insufficient. We source the right aircraft type for your cargo dimensions and weight.
How does cold chain air freight work for pharmaceuticals?
Temperature-sensitive pharma cargo moves in validated temperature-controlled containers (passive or active) with pre-cooling, real-time data loggers and IATA CEIV Pharma compliant handling through GDP-compliant routes.
