International removals by air
Sometimes when you're moving overseas, you need to have your items with you as quickly as possible. When that's the case, air freight removals are your best option.
From a single suitcase through to the full contents of your household, we've got the expertise to ensure your belongings arrive as quickly as possible at your destination.
Your destination
We are able to offer service to all major international airports throughout the world, along with many regional airports. If you have a smaller consignment, you may want to collect the goods yourself from the airport, however, we suggest you allow us to assist with customs clearance.
If you'd like door-to-door service, please let us know. We're happy to arrange the service that best suits your needs.
Pricing estimates
Although we can give you an estimate of the cost of sending your goods by air freight, the final accurate price is frequently not known until it has been collected and weighed. This is because airlines charge either on the final volumetric weight or space - whichever is greater. Once your goods have been packed, they'll be forwarded on to the airport for onward consolidation, measurement and weighing.
Loading on to the aircraft
The next step for your belongings is to ensure compliance with current air freight security measures. They'll either be placed in an X-Ray machine or a decompression chamber prior to being prepared for loading. The decompression chamber is a necessary step, and should cause no wear and tear to your belongings.
Your items will be containerised into an air igloo (see photo above) or loaded and netted onto giant pallets. Your belongings are then forwarded to the airlines or their handling agent.
At this stage, export documents and necessary customs formalities will be completed and a customs examination may need to be carried out. When your goods are sent, we will be given unique air waybill numbers so your goods can be tracked throughout their journey.

Would you like to tell us anything about your move team?
My move team was AMAZING. I already left a google review for them but they were amazing. Some of my furniture didn't even need to be dissembled which allowed me to get set up in my new place faster. Plus I had some really unique items like instruments and vinyl records and they all made it safely!

Jacki was by far amazing. She answered COUNTLESS of my questions and was always so prompt. I feel bad for asking so many questions to her, but she is amazing and wonderful at her job. I can't thank Jacki and Martin enough for starting the whole process and getting it all the way done. :D Thank you so much!
Email to Jayne and Ernie
Hi Lynne and Ernie,
Just a quick email to thank you for all of the help given for our recent move within Rochdale.
The process from start to finish has been exceptional and ran extremely smoothly - thanks to both of your help and guidance along the way.
We were especially pleased with removal day. The team turned up well ahead of schedule and worked non-stop to get everything packed (and unpacked at the other end, despite the delay in the other people not having moved out of their property!). I can’t remember their names, but I would be most grateful if you could pass on our thanks to them. They are a credit to the company.
Kind regards and thanks again.
