How fast is air freight from Miami?
Express and next-flight-out services deliver in 1–3 days door to door; standard air freight runs 3–7 days including customs; consolidated services add a few days for the best rates. Latin American capitals are often next-day from MIA on direct flights.
How is air freight priced?
By chargeable weight — the greater of actual and dimensional weight — plus fuel and security surcharges, origin/destination handling, and customs fees. Ask for an all-in quote; a low per-kilo rate with hidden accessorials is the oldest trick in air cargo.
When should I choose air freight over ocean freight?
Fly when the cost of being late exceeds the cost of flying: product launches, stockouts, perishables, high-value density goods, and spare parts that idle a production line. For everything else, compare against the ocean freight quote — many shippers split shipments, flying a first tranche and sailing the rest.
Can you handle perishable or temperature-controlled air cargo?
Yes. MIA is America's perishables gateway, and the network provides cool-chain recovery, refrigerated storage and rapid transfer into temperature controlled fulfillment or refrigerated inland transportation.
