Hawaii Urgent Airfreight
As the state's namesake as well as its second most populous land mass, the island of Hawaii looms large in the local economy. This island of 200,629 people is perhaps best known for its role in energy research and production, being home to both the Natural Energy Lab in Kailua-Kona and the Puna Geothermal Power Plant in Hilo, among other energy projects. These efforts create an enormous demand for maintenance, construction, and other services, powering a robust economic engine for the island. But they also create logistical headaches, clogging up the roads that are already limited on a land mass of just over 4,000 square miles. Bringing in supplies under these circumstances can be difficult.
For the "outer" or "neighbor" islands (which is all of them but Oahu), 99% of providers would say they are a 2 day point minimum from anywhere on the mainland, even LA. We have options to do it overnight from anywhere.

Critical Air Cargo Dispatch for Hawaii
Reliable Hawaii Shipments
Hawaii is a dynamic island, both in terms of its natural landscape and in terms of its human activities. To adapt to and benefit from that dynamism, it's important to move quickly, and that's where AirFreight.com comes in. We've played a critical role in resolving crises and maximizing opportunities on the island, most notably when we helped deliver the cement plugs necessary to protect the Puna Geothermal Power Plant from the 2018 lava flow. We've also delivered supplies to Kailua-Kona's Natural Energy Lab, helping it remain at the cutting edge. We bring together a litany of resources to accomplish these tasks, notably drawing on a network of affiliated airlines that extends through every state and province in North America. We also call upon extensive expertise, drawing on more than ten years of experience coordinating deliveries to Hawaii and each of its neighboring islands to plan the most reliable shipments for your items. We make sure to meet your needs fully through:
Single Point of Contact (SPOC)
Instead of requiring you to go through a cumbersome call center or leave a message and wait for a response, we have created a single point of contact (SPOC) for all our clients. This has myriad benefits for customers at every stage of the emergency delivery process. For Hawaii businesses that are at the start of their expedited air freight search process, our SPOC provides instant access to detailed information on our services. These companies can call us and learn all the different air options that we offer, identify the one that works best for their service, and book it. For those that have already placed an order and are waiting for it to arrive, our SPOC lets them learn everything about the delivery — what flight it's on, how much distance remains, whether there are any connecting flights, and whether we've had to change the connections in any way.
Concierge-Level Customer Service
Our SPOC feeds directly into our other guarantee, which is that of concierge customer service. When we coordinate your emergency delivery, we strive to keep you as involved in the process as you want to be. We'll start the order off by consulting you about your different options; we will make suggestions and recommendations, but the final choice will be yours alone. Then, once your order is on its way to the airport and in the air, we'll keep you posted about any new decisions that have to be made. If, say, you requested a standard air delivery and one of the connecting flights for that order gets canceled, we'll let you know what all the alternative connections are, and illuminate the pros and cons of each. Again, we'll make recommendations, but you'll have the power to choose the connection we ultimately use. At every stage of the process, you'll be in control.
AirFreight.com specializes in coordinating deliveries at the quickest legal speeds on the continent, so you can receive supplies in time for any deadline.
AirFreight.com excels at handling ultra-critical cargo, preserving your items no matter how unique they are and what environments they're passing through.
Air Freight
Traditional air freight is just what you'd think: delivering items by placing them on scheduled flights, whether directly from your destination to Hawaii or through a chain of connecting flights. As simple as this is, it's often enough to solve the most complicated shipping challenges, especially when coordinated by an experienced expeditor like AirFreight.com. Our team has long planned standard air cargo deliveries to Hawaii, and knows everything that can affect the speed and reliability of a shipment. We'll find the best possible flight to the island, taking into account weather, air traffic, airport maintenance, and anything else that could affect the delivery. If there's no direct flight to the island, we'll find a chain of connecting flights, using the same expertise to maximize speed and security.
Air Charter
In contrast to traditional air deliveries using scheduled flights, air charters involve setting up flights that previously were not scheduled. When we coordinate this service, we'll reserve a plane just for you, so no one else can use the cargo hold until your order is complete. Our close links to affiliated airlines allow us to do this within a matter of hours, so that your chartered flight can take off as soon as your items reach the airport. We'll also leverage our ground affiliates to get those items to the airport and, after they land, bring them from the receiving airport to your business.
Same-Day Hand-Carry
Whether you choose air freight, air charter, or any other kind of delivery, AirFreight.com is committed to keeping your items confidential and in good condition. To this end, we organize same-day hand-carry services. We have a network of trusted couriers every bit as extensive as our network of airlines and ground carriers, whom we can call on at any moment. When you place this type of order, we'll send a courier to receive your items personally, hold onto them on the way to the airport and on the flight or flights, and bring them all the way to your final destination. Thus, for any type of service over any distance, we can keep your items safe and secure the whole way.
