Aurora Urgent Airfreight from an Expert Expeditor
Working with Businesses in Aurora
AirFreight.com’s expertise comes from our long history of working with businesses in Aurora and throughout the Collar Counties. For years, we’ve studied the ground, rail, and air routes into and out of the city, and have noted points that generate the most delivery issues. No matter the season, we’ll be able to predict major delivery issues for our past and prospective clients, and can thus hit the ground running when they call us for an order. We’ll then leverage our network of affiliated airlines and vehicles, which extends across the United States as well as through major Mexican and Canadian supply points. By bringing these resources to bear quickly and systematically, we can coordinate quick deliveries for all our clients, regardless of what they’re shipping or where they’re shipping it from. Our goal is to ensure all Aurora businesses have equal access to critical cargo all year long.
Single Point of Contact (SPOC)
Emergency logistics coordination depends on reach, planning, and experience, but more than any of that, it depends on communication. For this reason, AirFreight.com provides a single point of contact (SPOC) that all current and prospective customers can call for updates on an order. When you first experience a shipping crisis and need to know what your options are, you can call our SPOC and immediately speak with our coordination experts, who can explain all the different services we offer for companies in your circumstances. And when you’ve placed an order and are waiting for it to arrive, you can call the same SPOC and be promptly directed to the team in charge of your order. Our team will update you on the order’s location, its speed, the remaining steps in the delivery, and the likely time it will reach you. No matter what, we’ll keep you up to speed on your critical air freight order to Aurora!
Concierge Solutions for Aurora Clients
One of the many reasons AirFreight.com emphasizes communication is to tailor our services to you. As a concierge critical air cargo handling service for Aurora, we strive to serve you in a way that best fits your business. When you make the initial call to discuss an order, we go out of our way to highlight the services that are most likely to meet your specific needs. We make recommendations, but are always careful to leave the final decision to you. If you’re not happy with our initial suggestions, we will work with you to craft and coordinate a delivery plan that leaves you and your company fully satisfied. We’ll then keep you in the loop while your order is on its way, making sure you’re still satisfied and involving you in any changes we need to make if the original plan doesn’t work out.

Capacious Critical Airfreight Choices for Aurora
Part of tailoring our services to our clients’ needs is making sure there are enough different kinds of services to meet all the different challenges that arise. Thus, while our standard air coordination services are enough for the majority of our Aurora clients, we don’t limit ourselves to just scheduling flights and chains of connecting flights. We also offer other services, such as air charters for clients who need delivery faster or along different routes than standard air cargo Aurora services can accommodate. We also cater to clients whose items need special attention and protection along the way, notably by offering same-day hand-carry services for all of our air freight and air charter orders. In all these efforts, we make sure to achieve:
Air Freight
For most shipping crises, standard air freight coordination is just what the doctor ordered. Our Aurora urgent airfreight logistics team specializes in quickly assessing your supply shortfall and identifying the flight or flights you need to solve it. Thanks to the sheer size of our network, which consists of cargo airlines flying into and out of every major center in North America, it takes only a few minutes for us to find you the next available flight out of your starting city. If there’s a flight directly to Aurora, we’ll book it for you; if not, we’ll find the best connecting flight and book that as well. Either way, we’ll then proceed to coordinate the ground services necessary for airport drop-off and pickup, so that every leg of the journey is planned out. And we’ll monitor your order along the way and make sure everything goes off without a hitch.
Air Charter
If your order’s coming to Aurora from a more remote location, you may not be able to wait for the next available flight, and even a careful chain of connecting flights might not get it there in time. AirFreight.com has planned for this exact situation by partnering with airline affiliates who let us charter new flights. Whenever we have an order that scheduled flights can’t accommodate, we’ll reach out to our affiliated airlines in the starting city and set up a new flight focused on that client. That flight will fly directly to Aurora, carrying only our client’s goods and not stopping until it arrives. We’ll then coordinate all the same drop-off and pickup services so that everything arrives on time.
Same-Day Hand-Carry
Independently of the speed and remoteness of a delivery, many Aurora businesses are also concerned about security. High-tech companies and other unique innovators frequently use parts that are small, sensitive, and highly valuable. If you rely on these items, you’ve likely made protecting them a central part of your shipping strategy; when that shipping strategy breaks down, you may fear it isn’t possible to maintain the same level of security on an urgent air freight flight to Aurora. But AirFreight.com can ensure the highest level of security through our same-day hand-carry services. By assigning your order to a courier in our network, we make sure someone’s attending to your supplies throughout the trip, keeping them confidential while securing them against any possible harm.
