Critical Air Cargo to Keep Sunnyvale Growing Strong
Located in the Bay Area right next to San Jose, Sunnyvale plays a critical role in the area’s dynamic economy. The town is an economic powerhouse, hosting major facilities for a wide selection of valuable industries. These include defense contractors like Lockheed Martin, advanced healthcare companies like Intuitive Surgical, and tech companies like Microsoft, to name just a few. All these companies give Sunnyvale a strong basis for future growth and make it a leader in technological development. But they also create a range of challenges, chief among them the need to adapt to frequent shipping disruptions.

Understanding Bay Area Freight Challenges
Having had more than a decade of experience serving Sunnyvale and the rest of the Bay Area, AirFreight.com has had time to assess what makes a successful emergency freight strategy. Part of the answer is reach: a coordinator who can work with carriers in as wide a range of locations as possible can respond more quickly and more flexibly, which is why we’ve built a network of affiliated airlines that spans the US, Canada, and Mexico. Another part of the answer is foreknowledge: the more meticulously a coordinator knows the local roads, airways, and other means of transit, the easier it is to anticipate disruptions and move quickly to resolve them. For this reason, we’ve gotten to know the Bay Area well and can always identify an alternative route into Sunnyvale. But far and away, the most important element of a successful critical air cargo freight strategy is communication, which is why we offer our Sunnyvale customers:
Updates & Information from a Single Consistent Source
Don’t worry about being in the dark while your goods are on their way: with AirFreight.com, you’ll have easy access to shipment status updates throughout the journey. Our centralized Single Point of Contact (SPOC) puts you directly in communication with the team that is coordinating your order. No matter where your order is in the process, you can call them and find out where your items are, how much farther they have to go, what other steps they have to go through, and precisely when they’re projected to arrive. If that projection changes at any moment, you’ll be the first to know, allowing you to adjust your schedule over the course of the day. Armed with this knowledge, you can prepare your business to make full use of your shipment as soon as it arrives, minimizing any disruption and taking maximum advantage of our expedited coordination services.
Concierge Service from an Expeditor Attentive to Your Needs
AirFreight.com doesn’t just give you knowledge: we make sure you can make use of that, and that starts during the expedited shipping process itself. When you place an order, we’ll listen carefully to your requirements and identify all the different services we coordinate, helping you select the one that most closely matches your needs. Whether you are transporting especially delicate items, operating under an unusually tight timetable, or seeking items from an especially remote location, our team can coordinate a shipment that closely matches what you’re looking for. Then, once you’ve chosen the service you need and your item is on its way, we’ll keep you informed and offer you input on how your order is progressing. From start to finish, we want you to feel in full control of your supplies and to know that your specific needs are being met.
Air Freight
Air freight is just what it sounds like — shipping items by cargo plane on standard, scheduled flights. AirFreight.com is an expert at coordinating this service, having offered it to Sunnyvale businesses for more than a decade. We’re able to deliver items so quickly thanks to our North American network of affiliated carriers, whom we can contact at a moment’s notice to book space on their next plane to Sunnyvale. If there’s no plane going directly to Sunnyvale, we’ll figure out the best string of connecting flights that will get your item there on time and then book you space on each of them. We’ll then monitor your order throughout the delivery process, making sure every leg of the journey is completed on time. If any issue arises, such as a canceled or missed connection, we’ll redirect your items to a new connecting flight and make sure they’re delivered well within your timeline.
Air Charters
The same network that lets us easily coordinate standard air freight services also allows us to provide air charters. An air charter is a flight set up for you alone. These sorts of flights are ideal if you need to bring in an item on an especially tight timeline, or if it has to come from a location so remote that there aren’t many scheduled flights in and out. By working with our affiliates to set up an air charter, we can bring your items to Sunnyvale from thousands of miles away in a matter of hours. We’ll also coordinate delivery to the departing airport and from the receiving airport to your business, so that every part of the journey is covered just like it would be in a standard air freight service.
Same-Day Hand-Carry
Whether as part of a standard air freight order, an air charter, or any other kind of same-day Sunnyvale order, AirFreight.com is happy to coordinate hand-carry services. This option involves assigning an affiliated courier to keep your supplies at hand throughout the journey. This individual will keep an eye on your items, make sure no harm comes to them, and if necessary, make sure that no one can see them until the delivery is complete. This is the ideal solution for expedited deliveries of especially valuable or sensitive smaller items. No matter what kind of supplies you rely on, you can count on AirFreight.com to get you back on track.
