Air freight
Air Freight to and from Jordan
Airport-to-airport and door-to-door air cargo through Queen Alia International Airport (AMM), handled end to end by our team in Amman.
When air freight is the right choice
Air freight is the fastest way to move cargo between Jordan and international markets. It suits time-critical shipments, high-value goods, spare parts that stop a production line, samples, pharmaceuticals and perishables — cases where the cost of waiting is higher than the cost of the freight.
- Consolidated and direct airport-to-airport services
- Door-to-door pickup and delivery on both ends
- Air waybill tracking from departure to arrival
What we need to quote
Air freight is priced on chargeable weight — the greater of actual gross weight and volumetric weight — plus terminal, security and handling charges. Sending accurate details up front avoids re-quoting later.
- Origin and destination airports or full addresses
- Number of pieces, gross weight and dimensions per piece
- Commodity description and commercial value
- Whether the cargo is dangerous goods, temperature-controlled or oversized
