When it comes to shipping goods internationally, air freight is a popular choice for its speed and efficiency. However, for customers with smaller cargo or less urgent shipments, the cost of air freight can be a deterrent. That’s where consolidated air freight comes in as a smart solution. Jenik Freight offers consolidated air freight services to select destinations and we are actively expanding our global reach for streamlined consolidation services, providing customers with a cost-effective and convenient shipping option.

In this blog post, we will explore the benefits of choosing consolidated air freight and why Jenik Freight stands out as the preferred choice for customers seeking seamless cargo delivery.

What is Consolidated Air Freight?

Consolidated air freight – also known as air consolidation, consolidated air shipments, or consolidated air cargo – refers to the same shipping method where multiple small shipments from different shippers are combined into a single larger shipment. This combined shipment is then transported to a common destination, sharing the same space on an aircraft. Consolidated air freight aims to make the transportation process more efficient and cost-effective for freight forwarders and customers.

Now, let’s delve into the five advantages of opting for Jenik Freight’s consolidated air freight services below!

Cost-Effective Shipping

One of the most significant advantages of opting for consolidated air freight is the cost-effectiveness it offers to customers. With standard air freight, customers often must bear the total cost of shipping, which can be expensive for smaller shipments. In contrast, consolidated air freight combines shipments destined for multiple consignees into one shipment. This sharing of the air freight cost among multiple customers results in a more economical solution for all parties involved.

Maximized Efficiency

Consolidated air freight maximizes the efficiency of a single plane trip by optimizing the available cargo space. Instead of flying with only a few large shipments, the aircraft can carry numerous smaller shipments, making each trip more efficient; This benefits the environment by reducing the overall carbon footprint of air freight and ensures that customers’ cargo reaches its destination faster. Jenik Freight’s consolidated air freight service is designed to offer swift and reliable delivery for smaller cargo without compromising efficiency.

Transparent Pricing

Jenik Freight ensures transparency in its pricing structure for consolidated air freight. Air freight rates are calculated based on the weight or measurements of the cargo, with the higher of the two determining the final charge. Customers can accurately plan their shipping costs without surprises by providing transparent and upfront pricing. Moreover, in certain destinations, a warehouse pick-up fee may apply to cover cargo release from the warehouse. Still, this fee is also included in the transparent pricing provided by Jenik Freight.
