Important Air Freight Solutions for Kailua-Kona
As an unincorporated community with a population of roughly 20,000, Kailua-Kona is one of the largest settlements on the eponymous Island of Hawaii as well as a site of rapid growth. That population figure is up from just 12,000 a decade ago, a powerful sign of the area's vibrant economy. This economy is driven not only by the many resorts in the region but also by the Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii Authority, an industrial park that develops everything from solar thermal to ocean thermal to wind power to biofuel. These activities are highly promising, but they also face supply headwinds, as it's difficult to bring in enough items to keep them running.
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.

Hawaii Delivery Challenges
The trouble with being an unincorporated community is that, almost by definition, you aren't on the radar for road construction and other public services. That's not necessarily a problem if your community stays small, but it creates serious issues for a community of 20,000 with advanced energy research and development operations. Deliveries to Kailua-Kona thus frequently become delayed, leading to production disruptions that have a negative impact on all Hawaii. AirFreight.com smooths out production by providing a backstop for traditional deliveries. If your supplies don't make it to you on time, we can coordinate quick cargo flights that make up the shortfall. This ability owes much to our massive cargo airline network, which consists of airlines all over the United States, Canada, and Mexico. It also involves our expert delivery planning team, which can direct speedy orders with ease along any route, avoiding disruption and keeping your supplies on track.
Single Point of Contact (SPOC)
AirFreight.com takes pride in learning each of our clients' needs in detail and then fulfilling those needs precisely. To do this, we've had to streamline client communication, which means eschewing convoluted call centers in favor of a single point of contact (SPOC) that potential clients can call. When you start a new order, you'll call the SPOC and speak with a team of professionals who know all AirFreight.com's services and can recommend the ones that are most likely to bring you your items on time. Then, when your order is en route, you can keep calling the SPOC for updates on its location and progress. You'll be able to connect directly with the team that's handling it, who can tell you where the flight is, how much time remains before it lands, whether there are any connecting flights, and other key details. We'll also fill you in on any changes we've made to the plan to adapt to changing conditions.
Concierge-Level Customer Service
As we communicate with our clients, we're careful to offer them as many opportunities as possible to take charge of the order, should they choose to do so. Thus, for example, when we're talking to a new client, our team will recommend the service that we think works best for them, but we'll also point out all our other services and let them know the pros and cons of each. If the client chooses a service other than the one we recommended, we'll get straight to work providing that service, making sure to deliver their items as quickly and securely as possible. Similarly, if a disruption happens during the trip, such as a canceled connecting flight, we'll let the client know what all the alternatives are; again, we'll recommend the one we think is best, but we'll happily choose a different one if that's what the client wants. Our team always remembers that this is your order, so you must remain in control.
We excel at planning deliveries that are quick but secure, using the fastest legal methods to bring you your supplies.
We have developed ultra-critical cargo handling expertise so that we can take good care of your supplies no matter what they are.
Air Freight
Air freight is the most traditional form of expedited air delivery. It involves finding a scheduled flight or, if necessary, a chain of connecting scheduled flights to carry your goods. While this sounds simple in theory, it gets complicated when trying to plan a delivery over a long distance on short notice. But because AirFreight.com has such close links to so many affiliated cargo airlines, we can easily find the best possible flight for your business at the drop of a hat. All our airlines give us access to their schedules, so we'll find the ideal flight and book it. If that flight doesn't go directly to Hawaii, we'll find another connecting flight and book that along with the initial flight. We'll then make ground transit arrangements while assigning our coordination team to track your items, watch out for new obstacles on the route ahead, and adjust our plans as necessary.
Air Charter
An air charter is a new flight set up for a specific client. Our airline affiliations are close enough that we can arrange these flights on short notice from a wide range of locations, including cities that don't typically offer direct flights to Hawaii. When you request an air charter, you can be confident that your items can be on a direct flight in a few hours' time, and thus will reach you well within 24 hours. You also get the rare guarantee that the flight will only be carrying your items, eliminating the efficiency and confidentiality concerns that come with sharing cargo space with other businesses.
Same-Day Hand-Carry
If confidentiality is a concern for you, AirFreight.com also has the ability to arrange same-day hand-carry services. These services are when we choose a trusted courier to pick up your items and hold onto them during the delivery process. We have a trusted network of such couriers all over North America, allowing us to select and dispatch them just as easily as we can book or charter a flight. These couriers never let your items out of their sight, and they don't allow any harm to come to them during the journey. You can thus rest assured that someone is caring for your items the whole way.
