Air Freight Management

Speed for time-sensitive freight, supporting replenishment, product launches, service recovery, critical parts, and more.

Use Air for Time-Sensitive Needs

Air freight can protect service when inventory, production, launch, or customer commitments require faster transit. APL Logistics uses your shipment profile and service requirements to find solutions that meet your needs.

Urgent Replenishment

When inventory gaps create service risk, air freight can help restore supply faster. APLL handles the entire process from origin readiness through destination delivery.

Launch Inventory

Product launches often have narrow timing windows. We coordinate origin activity, documentation, customs support, and final delivery planning to help protect critical dates.

Service Recovery

When another mode experiences a delay, air freight can be part of the recovery plan. APLL helps identify what should be transported by air and how to manage the remaining freight.

Critical Parts & Production Support

For manufacturing and industrial supply chains, delayed parts can affect production. APLL coordinates time-sensitive freight with the visibility and communication operations teams need.

Origin, Customs, and Destination Coordination

Air freight requires the coordination of pickups, documents, export and import requirements, airport activity, destination recovery, and final delivery. APL Logistics manages these activities with visibility and operational support.

Shipment Visibility and Exceptions

Customers get milestone visibility, status reporting, and proactive communication around key events. When conditions change, APLL teams coordinate next steps with carriers, brokers, and destination providers.

Air in the Transportation Mix

APL Logistics helps you evaluate air freight compared to OceanGuaranteed™, ocean, road, intermodal, or multimodal alternatives where your service requirements allow.
