Ko'olina Urgent Airfreight Solutions
With a population of roughly 2,000, the Ko'olina resort community may not be a large proportion of Oahu's populace. But the community plays a large role economically, helping attract valuable investment to the area. Construction companies, retailers, energy suppliers, and hospitality providers all count on Ko'olina and other communities like it as a major source of demand for their services, and work hard to keep its guests and employees well supplied. This work creates a robust economic ecosystem, but it also creates a number of challenges, chief among which is the need to bring in supplies that often come from far away.
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.

Important Air Freight Solutions for Ko'olina Businesses
Ko'olina Expedited Freight Expertise
AirFreight.com has a long history of contributing to resort and other construction projects in and around Ko'olina, having most recently helped with the construction of the Four Seasons Hotel and Resorts property there. In these efforts, we've seen the serious logistical challenges that can arise for this community. On an island as small and densely populated as Oahu, keeping a vibrant resort community stocked with supplies that often come from thousands of miles away can be a challenge. But we're up to the challenge, drawing on our chain of affiliated airlines to coordinate quick flights to Oahu from anywhere in North America. We also direct affiliated ground carriers to handle transportation to and from the airport, and we track our routes for storms and other contingencies that can slow the delivery down. We take this general business model and personalize it, making it work for all our Ko'olina clients by providing:
Single Point of Contact (SPOC)
The key to serving an eclectic community like Ko'olina effectively is to know what its businesses need on as deep a level as possible. We thus invite current and potential clients to communicate extensively with us throughout the process. But communication is only possible if there's an easy way to do it, so we established our single point of contact (SPOC) that clients can call. By calling the SPOC, current clients can speak directly with the team that's handling their order, while prospective clients can talk to professionals who will help them plan a new order. Clients thus have ample opportunity to describe their needs in detail, listen to all the AirFreight.com service options, and select the solution that works best for them. Clients who are waiting for current orders can also get detailed updates, learning exactly where their items are and how much longer it will be until delivery.
Concierge-Level Customer Service
Related to our emphasis on clear communication is the concierge approach we take to serving our Ko'olina clients. When a new client calls us to discuss a potential order, we give them all the information and opportunities they need to take charge of that order. Our team will elucidate each of the different service options we provide under the circumstances, highlighting the pros and cons of each and making recommendations. But these recommendations are not binding, and the client is free to select the service they want most. We'll get right to work fulfilling their order in the way they chose, and will then keep the client updated on how that order is going. If some issue develops during delivery, such as a delay at the airport or the cancelation of a connecting flight, we'll contact the client to let them know and then illuminate our options for minimizing the delay. Again, the client will have the opportunity to choose the option they think is best.
AirFreight.com uses all legal means to get you your items with time to spare, regardless of how long the route.
AirFreight.com works hard to protect even the most ultra-critical cargo from any harm, delivering it to you in pristine condition.
Air Freight
Traditional air freight services leverage existing flights to bring your items to you on the double. The majority of our clients use this service, so we've honed our ability to get the most speed out of flights that are already scheduled. When we receive your order, we'll identify all our affiliated airlines near your starting point and check each carrier's flight schedules. We'll find the next available flight to Oahu that can realistically carry your goods and make a reservation; if there's no direct flight to Oahu in time, we'll find a flight to a connecting city, book that, and then book a flight from there to Oahu. We'll then coordinate affiliated ground carriers, making sure a truck or van is available to take your goods to the departing airport, and that another one is available to take your goods from the Oahu airport to Ko'olina. We thus ensure expert execution of every part of the delivery.
Air Charter
An air charter is a service suited to clients who need their cargo transported even more quickly than scheduled flights can handle, especially over longer distances or from more remote starting points. For this service, we'll contact an affiliated airline near your supplier and arrange for a whole new flight. That flight will be reserved for your items, and will wait at the departing airport until the truck carrying those items arrives. It will then fly straight to Oahu, where another truck will be waiting to take your items the rest of the way to Ko'olina. With air charters, no starting point is too far or remote for us.
Same-Day Hand-Carry
Besides coordinating different options for the transportation itself, AirFreight.com offers different possibilities for caring for your items. If your supplies are relatively small in volume but need special protection against harm or disclosure, that care often takes the form of same-day hand-carry. When you purchase this service, we'll assign an affiliated courier to travel to the pickup point. The courier will retrieve your items directly and hold onto them throughout the journey, first traveling to the airport and then accompanying them on the plane. The supplies won't leave the courier's line of sight until you have them in your hands, ensuring full protection and confidentiality.
