HOW DOES DOOR-TO-DOOR AIR FREIGHT WORK?
We collect the consignment from your specified address, organise the transport to the airport, and take care of customs clearance on your behalf, ensuring the smooth process and delivery of the consignment to the airline. At the receiving airport, our on-site Röhlig colleagues take over the consignment from the airline and organise both customs clearance and delivery to the final recipient.
Thanks to our long-standing partnerships with many well-known airlines, we guarantee you attractive prices with consistently high service standards.
Supply the pick-up and recipient address when making your booking enquiry and we will find the fastest and most cost-effective solution for your transport.

WHEN IS A DOOR-TO-DOOR TRANSPORT BY AIR FREIGHT ADVISABLE?
In the following situations and for certain goods, we recommend transport by door-to-door air freight:
- High value goods, where transport costs are low compared to the value of the product.
- Time-critical shipments where alternative transport methods cannot guarantee the appropriate delivery time, such as spare parts for the automotive industry.
- Sample shipments in the global textile & fashion sector. Read also our dedicated fashion logistics page.
- Transport of valuable items where sea or land transport is riskier.
- Medical supplies (Covid Test & Mask).
The cost of air freight transport depends on various factors and must be determined on a case-by-case basis. Basically, the distance of the route to be covered, the desired transit time as well as the size and weight of the individual consignment influence the total costs. The gross tonnage and the volume weight are compared and the higher value is used as the basis for the calculation.
Furthermore, supply and demand on the global market also plays a role in the cost calculation.
The cost of an air freight transport are therefore always dependent on the following parameters:
- Relation
- Size and weight of the shipment
- Nature of the goods / commodity
- Market situation at different times of the year / peak season
We are able to cover all Incoterms.
