What is Air freight?

Air freight simply means transporting goods by airplane.
1. Quick and Aerial: Think of it as flying your packages from one place to another.
2. Compared to Other Methods: Unlike trucks (land) or ships (sea), planes get your stuff across the world super fast – but usually at a higher cost.
