Air Freight
Air Freight Forwarding for Time-Critical Cargo
When timing matters more than cost — international air cargo booked, documented, and coordinated door to door.
When air freight is the right call
Air freight exists for the shipments where the calendar wins: a production line waiting on a part, a trade show that opens Friday, a high-value order that can't spend five weeks on the water. It costs more per kilo than ocean — and it's worth it precisely when the cost of waiting is higher.
Conveyco coordinates international air cargo for imports and exports, airport-to-airport or door-to-door. We book the air leg directly and manage it ourselves — carrier booking and space confirmation, documentation, customs coordination through a licensed customs broker partner, and the ground pickup and delivery at both ends — so an urgent shipment isn't slowed by handoffs.
Because we also arrange ocean freight, we can model the air-versus-ocean tradeoff for your actual shipment and recommend the mode, or the mix, that fits. Our team works these decisions daily from Burnsville, Minnesota, serving shippers across the Minneapolis–St. Paul area and nationwide.

Why urgent freight flies with Conveyco
Urgency doesn't tolerate a relay race. On an air shipment, the booking, the paperwork, and the trucks at both ends are coordinated by one team — and when you call for a status, the person who answers is the person working the file.
If the deadline allows a mix — air for the critical piece, ocean for the rest — we'll say so. Our recommendation isn't tied to one mode.
