Air freight for cargo that has to land tomorrow.
Setara books standard, express, and charter air on the major routes for time-sensitive, high-value, and perishable shipments. We arrange airport-to-airport or full door-to-door, and we coordinate customs at destination through a licensed customs broker partner so the cargo is not held at arrival.
When speed is the whole point.
Air is the mode you reach for when the ocean transit is too slow: time-sensitive launches, high-value goods that should not sit in transit, or perishable cargo on a clock. We book the space and handle the paperwork, so the move is one booking and one invoice rather than a stack of vendors.
Because we are a freight brokerage with a vetted carrier network at our core, we are not tied to one airline. We quote standard, express, and consolidated air, with expedited and full charter on request, then book the option that fits your deadline and budget. See how air sits alongside ocean and the rest of our forwarding.
Customs at destination is coordinated through our licensed customs broker partner, worked alongside the air booking so clearance is ready when the cargo lands. Temperature-sensitive and high-value handling are arranged with the booking rather than sourced separately.
How fast do you need it there?
Express, standard, and consolidated air
Express for the tightest deadlines, standard for routine air moves, and consolidated when you can share capacity to keep the rate down. We weigh the options against your timeline and quote the one that fits.

Air freight FAQ.
When does air freight make more sense than ocean?
Air freight is the right call when the cargo is time-sensitive, high-value, or perishable and the ocean transit is simply too slow. The trade-off is cost: air moves in days where ocean takes weeks, so you pay a premium for speed. We help you weigh the two and book the one that fits the shipment. Compare it against ocean and the full forwarding mix.
Do you offer charter air freight?
Yes. Alongside standard and express air, we arrange expedited and full charter on request when a shipment cannot wait for scheduled capacity or needs dedicated lift. Send us the weight, dimensions, and deadline and we will quote the option that lands it on time.
Can you handle airport-to-airport and door-to-door?
Both. We book airport-to-airport when you handle the ends yourself, or full door-to-door with pickup and final delivery arranged at each end. It is one booking and one invoice either way, with the customs entry coordinated so the shipment is not held at arrival.
Who clears customs on an air shipment?
Customs at destination is coordinated through our licensed customs broker partner, worked alongside the air booking so clearance is ready when the cargo lands. We do not file entries in-house; the broker holds the licence and files with CBSA or CBP. See customs coordination for how that works.
Can you carry temperature-sensitive or high-value cargo by air?
Yes. Air freight suits high-value and temperature-sensitive goods, and we arrange handling for both. Tell us the commodity, the temperature range, and any special requirements when you request a quote so we book the right capacity and handling.
