AIR FREIGHT

Air freight transportation is a fast and efficient shipping method that is particularly valuable to businesses needing to get products to international customers quickly or stay on track with a just-in-time manufacturing model. The primary downside of air shipping is that the cost can be significantly higher than ocean freight forwarding. Fortunately, ASL can help lower this cost while also providing exceptional customer support.

ASL has no interest in being a high-volume, one-model-fits-all provider. Our clients are not just numbers, and every shipment is given the individual attention to detail it requires. While many larger air freight forwarders are bound by consolidation schedules, we are able to offer greater flexibility for our clients and their cargo.

You can choose the most suitable service level for your specific needs:

•  Airport to Airport
•  Airport to Door
•  Door to Airport
•  Door to Door
•  Sea-Air / Air-Sea
•  Airfreight consolidation
•  Packaging and Labeling
•  Customs Documents Preparation
•  Rates and Space Consultation
•  Charter Service

CARGO INSURANCE

Cargo Insurance is a critical staple for reducing the risks of financial loss when buying, selling or distributing goods both domestically and internationally. No matter how robust your loss prevention strategy may be, it is reported that 30% of all freight damage in transit is unavoidable and most losses occur on the way to or from the ports. Furthermore, the FBI estimates that up to $30 billion in cargo theft occurs every year.
