Time-Sensitive Moving Solutions

Air shipping is ideal for clients who need their personal effects to arrive on a tight schedule. If you're starting a new job abroad, preparing for a seasonal move, or dealing with a time-sensitive relocation, air freight provides a reliable option. We help you prioritize the most essential items—clothing, electronics, documents, or personal necessities—and get them in the air and on the move right away. Our team works with major air carriers to find flights that meet your preferred delivery timeline.

Careful Packing for Air Transit

Air shipping requires meticulous packing to withstand handling, altitude changes, and quick transfers between terminals. At Manhattan International Movers, our packing team in New York uses high-quality, lightweight materials that meet airline standards while protecting your goods in transit. Fragile items are cushioned with shock-absorbent materials, and each box is clearly labeled to ensure accurate tracking and customs processing throughout the journey.

Ideal for Small to Medium Shipments

Unlike ocean freight, which is suited for full households, air freight is designed for smaller loads. It’s a great option when you need to move a studio apartment, specific rooms, or only select belongings. We help you sort and separate your most urgent items for air transport, while offering combined services for less urgent goods that can ship by sea. This hybrid approach gives you the best of both speed and affordability.

Customs Clearance for Air Freight

International air shipments pass through customs just like ocean freight, but often at a much faster pace. Our team prepares all required documentation to ensure smooth clearance, including invoices, packing lists, and air waybills. We stay up to date with global import regulations and work closely with customs agents at your destination to avoid unnecessary delays or complications.

Global Delivery From Airport to Home

Once your goods land overseas, the process doesn’t stop there. We coordinate with our international logistics partners to complete delivery from the airport to your new home. If you prefer to pick up your shipment at a nearby terminal, we can arrange port-side release. For full convenience, our door-to-door option ensures that your belongings are not only flown across the globe but placed exactly where you need them.

Fast, Focused, and Reliable Moving

Air shipping may be the fastest way to move household goods internationally, but it still requires professional coordination and experienced handling. At Manhattan International Movers, our air freight services combine speed, care, and global reach to help you get settled faster—without sacrificing security or control. From New York to any major destination worldwide, we help you hit the ground running.
