OIA Global makes every minute count when delivering air cargo, especially if there’s strong pressure to meet a deadline or business goal. Air freight shipping remains a critical component in many global supply chains, both as a core transport mode for quicker speed to market and for reliable stock and inventory replenishment, as well as a backup logistics solution to meet product launch requirements.
Air shipping guarantees speed and efficiency, allowing you to quickly ship temperature-controlled products, perishables, and even dangerous goods and hazardous materials. OIA Global is an International Air Transport Association (IATA) agent for all major airlines, meaning our employees have proven they are trained and qualified to handle any type of air cargo.
