Air Freight Options We Handle
Operating out of Chennai, we route shipments through Chennai International Airport (MAA) as well as other major Indian gateways depending on where your cargo needs to move. We handle general air cargo, time-sensitive shipments, and consolidated (groupage) air freight for smaller volumes that don't require a dedicated booking.
Our air freight desk regularly supports manufacturing, automotive components, pharmaceuticals, electronics, and engineering exports and imports moving between India and destinations across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and North America. Each booking is matched to the airline and routing that best balances transit time, cost, and cargo handling requirements, and we keep clients updated at every stage from pickup to final delivery.
Documents Required for Air Freight Shipments
An air freight shipment out of Chennai typically needs a commercial invoice, packing list, and Airway Bill (AWB) at minimum, along with a valid Import Export Code (IEC) for the shipper or consignee. Depending on the cargo and destination country, a certificate of origin, letter of credit, or product-specific licence (for restricted or regulated goods) may also be required.
Our documentation team reviews paperwork before booking to avoid last-minute rejections at the airport, which is one of the most common causes of delayed air shipments.
Typical Air Freight Transit Times from Chennai
Air freight from Chennai typically reaches Middle East destinations (Dubai, Sharjah) in 1-2 days, Southeast Asia in 2-3 days, and Europe or the US East Coast in 3-5 days, depending on airline schedules, customs processing, and whether the routing is direct or via a transhipment hub. Express or charter options can compress these timelines further for urgent cargo.
