Air Freight
Excess Baggage by Air Freight
Your bags and boxes flown as cargo from OR Tambo, Cape Town International or King Shaka to airports worldwide.
How It Works
Fast, Charged by Weight
Air freight is the fastest way to send excess baggage. Your pieces fly as cargo, usually on passenger or freighter aircraft, and are cleared and delivered by our partner abroad.
It is charged on the higher of the actual weight and the volumetric weight, so dense, heavy boxes are better value than bulky, light ones.
