Air freight

Air freight is a vital link in making the UK a competitive centre of world business. It is used to transport high value, small sized commodities quickly to markets around the world. Frequently these are products with a short life span, such as medicines, or those that underpin the UK service economy, such as financial documents.

The importance of air freight is shown by the fact that whilst it represents less than 1 per cent of UK trade in products by tonnage, it represents 30 per cent of exports by value.
