Air Freight

overview

Sea freight takes 30+ days. Some cargo can't wait.

Production line breaks down—you lose $50k/day. Customer deadline passes—you lose the contract. Seasonal peak closes—you miss the entire season.

That's when air freight makes sense.

Trevart moves urgent cargo fast: China to Kenya in 4-5 days, door-to-door.

How We Plan Operations

CARRIER SELECTION & ROUTING

Speed requires right-sizing the approach.

Planning process:

  • Assess cargo specs (weight, dimensions, hazmat, perishable, etc.)

  • Identify fastest routing (direct flights, best connections)

  • Check carrier capacity (no standby waits)

  • Quote air freight cost vs. your cost of delay

  • Confirm carrier selection once approved

  • Book space immediately (no delays)

This upfront planning means no surprises—you know cost, timeline, and carrier.

How We Execute Services

IN-FLIGHT COORDINATION & JKIA ARRIVAL

While cargo flies, we prepare the landing.

Execution:

  • Cargo collected from origin, prepared for air transport

  • Proper packaging, labeling, and hazmat documentation (if needed)

  • Delivered to origin airport for flight

  • Flight departs on schedule (we track via airline)

  • Cargo in transit (2-4 days typical for Asia→Kenya)

At JKIA (Nairobi):

  • Cargo lands

  • We're at the airport (not outsourced)

  • Customs paperwork is ready (no delays discovering missing documents)

  • Cargo unloaded and moved through customs immediately

  • Light inspection (usually 1-2 hours because paperwork is complete)

No queue-waiting. No bureaucratic delays. Cargo flows through.

How We Deliver Results

SAME-DAY CLEARANCE & FINAL DELIVERY

Once cleared, your cargo reaches you fast.

Visibility & delivery:

  • Real-time tracking from origin to JKIA

  • Flight updates (departure, arrival, ETA)

  • JKIA arrival notification (cargo lands)

  • Customs processing status (paperwork in progress, cleared)

  • Truck dispatch (inland truck assigned, departure time)

  • Delivery to your location (Nairobi same-day, regional next 1-2 days)

Emergency protocol: If original flight is delayed, we reroute immediately—alternative carriers, different routing, even connecting flights. You don't wait. We solve it.
