Air transportation
Air freight is the fastest way to deliver cargo to Uzbekistan from anywhere in the world. High Speed Logistics arranges air shipments from the departure airport or the supplier's warehouse to your warehouse in Tashkent and the regions.
When to choose air freight
- the cargo is urgent: spare parts for a stopped production line, samples, seasonal goods;
- the cargo is valuable and compact: electronics, components, medical equipment, pharmaceuticals;
- the weight is small enough that the price difference with ground transport is minor;
- you need predictability: flights operate on a schedule.
Destinations
We deliver by air to Tashkent (TAS), Samarkand and Navoi. Transit time depends on the origin, availability of direct flights and clearance time; we will confirm it in the quote.
- China (Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Urumqi)
- UAE (Dubai)
- Turkey (Istanbul)
- Europe
- India, Southeast Asia
What can be shipped by air
General cargo in boxes and on pallets, equipment and spare parts, electronics, textiles, product samples, documents. Dangerous goods (lithium batteries, chemicals, aerosols) are carried under IATA DGR rules with special labelling and a declaration, and we accept them. We also carry perishable and temperature-controlled cargo.
What the service includes
- collection from the supplier and delivery to the departure airport;
- flight booking and air waybill (AWB);
- checking packaging and labelling against airline requirements;
- export clearance in the country of origin;
- receiving the cargo at Tashkent airport and customs clearance;
- delivery to the consignee's door.
How the price is calculated
Air freight is charged per kilogram of chargeable weight. Chargeable weight is the greater of the actual weight and the volumetric weight (length × width × height in centimetres divided by 6000). Light but bulky cargo is therefore charged by volume. The price also depends on the origin, urgency, cargo type and additional services: airport fees, customs clearance, door delivery.
Documents
Commercial invoice, packing list, foreign trade contract and an air waybill (AWB), which we issue. Certain goods also require certificates of conformity, permits or a dangerous goods declaration.
How we work
- We receive your request: cargo description, weight, dimensions of packages, supplier's address.
- We calculate the chargeable weight and offer flight options and prices.
- We collect the cargo from the supplier and check the packaging.
- We book the flight and prepare the documents.
- We receive the cargo in Tashkent and clear customs.
- We deliver the cargo to the consignee.
Packaging and labelling
Airlines accept cargo only in packaging that can withstand loading into ULD containers and pressure changes. Boxes must be sturdy and fully filled, pallets stretch-wrapped, fragile items crated. Each package needs a label with the air waybill number and number of packages. Lithium batteries, aerosols, liquids and magnetic materials require a separate declaration: tell us about them in advance so the cargo is not offloaded from the flight.
Air or another mode?
Air freight pays off when the cargo is light and valuable, or when downtime caused by a delay would cost more than the shipping. For heavy and bulky shipments that can wait, road, rail or groupage is cheaper. If in doubt, we will price several options and compare cost and transit time.
FAQ
Can I ship groupage cargo by air?
Yes. We consolidate small shipments into one consignment, which is cheaper than a separate AWB.
How can I reduce the cost of air freight?
Reduce the packaging volume (lower volumetric weight), ship on the consolidation schedule instead of an urgent flight, or consider a multimodal option: part of the way by air, part by road.
Do you collect cargo directly from the supplier?
Yes, we collect from the supplier's warehouse and deliver to the departure airport.
