FAQs — Air Cargo
Air Cargo is a transportation service that uses the air network to move eligible documents, parcels and commercial shipments between destinations across India and beyond. It is particularly suited to long-distance shipments where surface transportation would take too long, offering a faster alternative backed by defined delivery timelines.
Air Cargo refers broadly to Trackon's air freight movement service for documents, parcels and commercial shipments. Air Express is a faster-transit option within that same air network, specifically designed for more time-critical shipments that need to reach their destination sooner than standard air cargo timelines allow.
Air Cargo generally suits larger or commercial-scale shipments moved through structured air freight processes, while an air courier service is typically used for smaller documents and parcels that need faster, more individualised transit. Both use air transportation but differ in shipment scale, handling approach and pricing.
Trackon's Air Cargo services are available to businesses, SMEs, e-commerce companies, retailers, manufacturers and other customers with eligible air-shipping requirements. Whether moving individual commercial consignments or recurring business freight, the service is designed to support varied shipment types and business shipping volumes.Confirming the specific details at the time of booking is always recommended.

While Trackon's air network covers a wide range of locations, it is always best to confirm serviceability for your exact origin and destination before finalising your air cargo shipment.
Air Cargo charges typically vary based on factors such as origin, destination, shipment weight, dimensions and the specific service type selected. Because air freight pricing can differ significantly by route and shipment characteristics, it is recommended to check current rates with Trackon at the time of booking.
