Air freight forwarding is the transportation of goods via scheduled flights on commercial or passenger airlines. Air freight logistic services, range from next-flight-out freight (NFO), through to consolidated services which are best for less-urgent deliveries.

Biohazards & biochemical products, including medical waste
