Overview

Air freight matched to cargo and urgency

Fast Safe Cargo combines scheduled airline capacity with specialist handling and dedicated charter programmes to move time-critical and high-value goods. Our teams assess the shipment’s dimensions, service window, handling profile and destination requirements before proposing a routing, so the chosen solution reflects the cargo rather than a one-size-fits-all product.

Express services prioritise speed and operational visibility; charter options provide dedicated capacity for exceptional volumes, urgent recovery or constrained lanes. Temperature-controlled movements are planned around validated packaging, handling instructions and appropriate partner capabilities, including GDP and IATA CEIV Pharma-aligned processes where applicable.

From collection through airport handling and final delivery coordination, a named operations contact keeps milestones and exceptions visible. We manage documentation and handovers with airline and ground partners, while customers retain clear information on responsibilities, cut-offs and service assumptions before cargo is tendered.

  • Express, charter and temperature-controlled options
  • Access to 1,200+ weekly partner flight connections
  • Route and capacity planning against delivery need
  • Milestone visibility and exception coordination
  • Document and handling checks before tender
