A Norfolk Urgent Airfreight Coordinator for Your Business
As the largest city in the vibrant Hampton Roads or Tidewater region, Norfolk has long played an indispensable role in Virginia’s economy. The city is famous as a center of shipbuilding, producing and repairing vessels for both the United States Navy and an array of private companies. But Norfolk and its surrounding area also have facilities from a range of other companies, including food processors like Smithfield, retailers like Dollar Tree, and inland transit firms like Norfolk Southern. These varying businesses play a robust and dynamic role in the local economy but also create some dynamic shipping challenges, which they can solve only through proactive, flexible logistics. AirFreight.com offers the flexibility and proactive planning you need to stay supplied.

Critical Airfreight Norfolk Can Count On
Virginia Critical Airfreight
The challenge of critical airfreight is getting the order going quickly. Given the complexity of air cargo schedules, simply finding or chartering a suitable flight for your supplies can take up an inordinate amount of time; streamline that and the possibilities for same-day urgent freight open up. AirFreight.com gets the ball rolling quickly on each order by drawing on our network of affiliated carriers. Instead of having to painstakingly sort through public schedules, we can find a close partnered airline in any starting city and immediately find out what flights they have to Norfolk; or, alternatively, we can work with them to charter a new flight. Before you know it, we’ll have your order to the airport and then in the air, swiftly traveling toward your Norfolk destination. Meanwhile, we’ll use advanced tracking to keep an eye on it, make sure the plan is working, and make quick changes if there’s any disruption.
Single Point of Contact (SPOC)
One of the many benefits of working with AirFreight.com is that we make it simple to access information on your order. Our single point of contact (SPOC) is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to take your call. If you call while we have one of your orders underway, we’ll direct you immediately to the team that’s coordinating that order; they’ll be able to tell you where your flight is, how much distance remains on the trip, and when it’s likely to arrive. Likewise, if you call our SPOC before placing an order, we will give you all the information you need to know whether you should work with us. By explaining all our service options in detail and making clear but non-binding recommendations, we’ll make it easy for you to find the best solution for your situation and then book it without any further ado.
Concierge-Level Attention to Each of Our Norfolk Customers
AirFreight.com gives our clients so much information, not only so you’ll know what’s going on with your order, but also so that you can play a direct role in coordinating it, if that’s something you want to do. While we’re happy to move forward with the order on our own and let you rest easy, we also understand if you want to be involved in the decision-making further along in the journey. Thus, you have full control over your choice of service, and we’ll do everything in our power to cater our solutions to your requests and needs. Likewise, once you’ve chosen your service and the order is on its way, we’ll let you know if any disruptions come up along the way and what we recommend doing to keep the shipment on track. Again, you’ll be free to choose the option that you like most, exercising as much control as possible until the delivery is finished.
Air Freight
The biggest challenge in resolving a logistics crisis is often just finding the flight or flights you need to get your items to Norfolk. AirFreight.com has no problem identifying and selecting such flights on short notice. Because we have so many airlines that partner so closely with us, we can immediately find all the different cargo flights departing that day from your starting point. We’ll select the best possible flight to Norfolk for your schedule. In the event that no airline is offering a direct flight to Norfolk, we’ll find the best possible flight to a city where there are flights to Norfolk. By linking together scheduled flights for our clients and coordinating delivery to and from the airport, we make sure that no Norfolk company is more than a few hours away from their supplies, no matter where in North America those supplies come from.
Air Charter
In addition to air freight solutions relying on scheduled flights, AirFreight.com offers air charters. This is when we contact an affiliated cargo airline and get them to set up a new, direct flight to Norfolk on a few hours’ notice. We’ll reserve that flight for the client who placed the order and allow its payload to carry only that client’s supplies. Then, just like with a standard air freight order, we’ll coordinate transit to bring their items to the airport. By providing air charter options for all our Norfolk clients, we avoid the limitations of standard schedules and maximize the options for a direct flight to the Tidewater.
Same-Day Hand-Carry
Whether you’re using an air charter or a scheduled air freight solution, you may need to keep your items secure. AirFreight.com upholds the highest standards of shipping safety for our clients, and when working on smaller orders involving especially delicate items, we go a step further by providing hand-carry solutions. We have a network of affiliated couriers just as vast as our carrier network, and we can dispatch one of those couriers to pick up your supplies in person and hold onto them throughout the journey. This way, no matter how sensitive your items are, you can rest easy knowing that they’re safe while in the air.
