air shipment
Cargo by plane
Air shipment is the transport of goods by aircraft, or the goods themselves being transported.
The term emphasizes speed over cost—air shipments arrive faster than sea or ground freight but at higher expense.
The documents went by air shipment to arrive before the deadline.
We're expecting an air shipment of medical supplies tomorrow.
