What it involves
Air freight is the choice when time is worth more than the rate: a stopped production line, a critical spare, a sample that has to arrive before a trade show, or perishable cargo with a short shelf life.
We compare routes and airlines on every shipment rather than working with a single carrier. The fastest departure is often not the most direct one, and the difference between a well-chosen connection and a poor one is twenty-four hours and several hundred dollars.
We handle general, perishable and dangerous goods under IATA DGR rules, with the documentation, labelling and packaging each class requires. We operate through the country’s three international airports: Palmerola (XPL) in Comayagua, Ramón Villeda Morales (SAP) in San Pedro Sula and Golosón (LCE) in La Ceiba.

What this service covers
02
Perishables and cold chain
Fresh produce, pharmaceuticals and biological samples with thermal packaging, gel packs or dry ice, and temperature logging throughout the journey.
03
Dangerous goods (DGR)
UN number classification, shipper’s declaration, labelling and approved packaging. We check each airline’s restrictions before booking, not after.
04
Charter and part charter
When volume, weight or urgency exceed what a commercial flight allows, we charter a full aircraft or a portion of the hold, including overflight and landing permits.
How we work
How it runs, step by step
- 01
Urgency assessment
We define whether the shipment justifies air or whether an express ocean option makes more sense. When air is not the right answer, we say so.
- 02
Booking and documentation
We book space, issue the air waybill and prepare the dangerous goods declaration or health certificate where applicable.
- 03
Flight and connections
Flight-by-flight tracking. If a connection is missed, we look for the next available departure the same day it happens.
- 04
Clearance and delivery
We prepare the declaration in advance so the cargo can leave the customs area on the day of arrival whenever possible.
Frequently asked questions
About this service
How is air freight charged?
By the greater of actual and volumetric weight, the latter calculated by dividing the volume in cubic centimetres by 6,000. Bulky, light cargo pays by volume — which is why packaging directly affects the cost.
Can you move lithium batteries or chemicals?
Yes, provided the goods are correctly classified, packed and declared under IATA DGR. We need the safety data sheet (MSDS) before quoting, because the available airline and route depend on it.
