Global Freight

Air Freight

Time-critical cargo moved on the fastest compliant routing.

The problem

Why businesses struggle

Urgent consignments miss production schedules because bookings, documentation and airport handling are managed by three different parties who never speak to each other.

Business impact

  • Production lines idle while spares sit in a bonded shed
  • Premium airfreight paid for cargo that still clears late
  • No single owner of the shipment when a flight is rolled

How Bromley solves it

The process

01

Route and capacity planning

We hold allocations across multiple carriers so a rolled flight becomes a re-book, not a delay.

02

Pre-lodged documentation

AWB, permits and declarations are prepared before wheels-up so clearance starts on arrival.

03

Airport-side execution

Own handling teams at origin and destination, with escalation contacts on the ground.

04

Milestone visibility

Booked, uplifted, in-transit, arrived, cleared, delivered — reported as it happens.

FAQ

Air Freight questions, answered

How fast can air freight clear customs?+

With documentation pre-lodged, clearance typically completes the same day cargo lands, provided duties are settled and permits are valid.

When is air freight cheaper than sea?+

For shipments under roughly 500kg, or where the cost of stock-out, demurrage or lost production exceeds the freight premium.

Do you handle dangerous goods by air?+

Yes. Our team is IATA DGR trained and prepares the declaration, packing and labelling in-house.

Can you charter an aircraft for urgent cargo?+

Yes, charter capacity is available for consignments that cannot wait for the next scheduled flight or exceed standard freighter dimensions.

What happens if my flight is rolled?+

Held allocations across multiple carriers mean a rolled flight is re-booked onto the next available service rather than left unplanned.
