When a stopped production line costs more than the freight, or a sample has to reach the buyer before a meeting, air freight makes sense. Royan Logistic weighs air against road, sea and rail and recommends it only when speed is genuinely worth the extra cost.
Which cargo suits air freight?
- Urgent spare parts for machinery and production lines
- Commercial samples and small, valuable shipments
- Pharmaceuticals and time-sensitive products (with suitable temperature conditions)
- Light, high-value goods such as saffron or electronics
Airports and routings
Air cargo in Iran mostly moves through Tehran Imam Khomeini International Airport and, depending on the origin, through Mashhad, Shiraz, Isfahan or Tabriz. Depending on the destination, direct flights or connections via regional hubs are considered. Road transport from the loading point to the airport and from the destination airport to the consignee is part of the plan.
Documents and rules
- Air waybill (AWB)
- Commercial invoice and packing list
- Certificate of origin and product-specific certificates
- Compliance with IATA DGR for dangerous goods such as lithium batteries
Air freight is charged on chargeable weight (the greater of actual and volumetric weight), so accurate package dimensions matter. Send your cargo details through our contact page. For larger volumes, see also sea freight and road freight.
