Why Shipments Get Delayed: The Hidden Problem with Air Freight to Dubai
Ibrahim came back to me today. He’d been shipping via air freight to Dubai, but his previous forwarder kept missing deadlines. Though they tried hard, they were always slow.
As a direct consolidator for air freight to Dubai, we secure daily pallet space on Dubai-bound flights. That’s how we control shipments—and why Ibrahim chose us.
So why the delays?
When airlines bump cargo last-minute, small forwarders scramble. They don’t own pallet space—they rely on wholesalers like us. Finding new space takes time → delays happen.
The Dubai air freight trap:
Many think being a forwarder is easy. Work at a big company, learn the ropes, then start your own? Not so simple.
For air freight to Dubai, timing is everything. Clients pick air because they’re urgent. Example: 40 tons must reach Dubai in 3 days. Not 4. That’s where space control matters.
How we control space (and why most can’t):
Pallet agreements require heavy cargo volume + serious capital. Airlines don’t take small clients—they sell space to big forwarders (like us). We decide what loads first: urgent shipments always fly on time.
Why trust us?
→ Founded in 1998 | 100+ staff
→ Self-owned office: Entire 8F, Tower B, Rongde Int’l Plaza (Shenzhen)
→ Two dedicated Dubai routes:
1. Guangzhou/Shenzhen → Dubai direct: 30 pallets/week (Mon-Fri, 6/day)
2. Guangzhou/Shenzhen → Beijing → Dubai: Daily flights
Truth time:
Many own offices. Many claim "Dubai routes." But few do both like us.
Bonus: Smart savings without delays
When clients want cheaper than direct (but faster than sea), we suggest Beijing transit. It adds just 1 day but saves ~10% cost. That’s how our dual-route system beats competitors.
A warning:
Picking the cheapest quote is risky. Air freight to Dubai involves 10+ steps—only experienced forwarders guarantee smooth delivery.
The result for Ibrahim?
After discussing details, his goods reached Dubai safely in a week. No delays.
