INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING BY AIR

International shipping by air involves the transportation of goods from one country to another using aircraft. This method is favored for shipments that are time-sensitive, have high value, or are relatively lightweight. While air freight is typically more expensive than sea or road transport, it offers the advantage of faster delivery times.
