What is Deferred Air Freight?

Deferred Air Freight refers to a type of air shipping service where the delivery of goods is not time-sensitive and can be postponed to a later date. This service is usually offered at a lower cost compared to standard or expedited air freight services, as it allows airlines to optimize their cargo capacity and reduce their operating costs.

In Deferred Air Freight, the shipment may take longer to arrive at its destination as it may be consolidated with other shipments and may take longer to be processed at airports. The exact delivery time may vary depending on various factors such as the distance between the origin and destination, the airline’s schedule, and any customs or regulatory requirements.
