air-freighted

Sent by plane

Air-freighted means transported by aircraft rather than by ship, truck, or rail.

The term typically applies to cargo where speed justifies the higher cost: air-freighted seafood from Alaska, air-freighted medical supplies.

Products marketed as air-freighted emphasize freshness or urgency of delivery.
