Air Freight
Air freight organisation and airport operations for time-critical shipments.
Air freight is the choice when transit time decides. Spare parts, samples, production material tied to a deadline and high-value cargo reach their destination in the shortest possible time.
Turna selects the airline and service level, plans the road legs before and after the airport, and follows the customs processes.

Questions About This Service
What is the difference between groupage and full-load transport?
In a full load the whole vehicle is dedicated to one consignment, so your cargo is not consolidated with others and is not transhipped. In groupage your shipment travels together with other cargo on the same route. Groupage is usually cheaper; a full load is faster and avoids transhipment.
How do I work out the volume of my cargo?
Enter the length, width, height and quantity of each package into the volume calculator. It accepts both centimetres and metres and shows the volume per row as well as the total. You can carry the result into the quote form with one click.
Is my cargo insured?
Our road transport is carried out under CMR insurance, which covers the carrier's liability within the terms of the international convention. Additional cover can be arranged on request depending on the nature and value of the cargo.
What is a bonded warehouse used for?
While goods sit in a bonded warehouse, the duty liability is deferred until they are released. This gives importers flexibility in cash flow and lets them draw the goods down in parts as they are needed.
