air shipping
Cargo by plane
Air shipping is the transport of goods by aircraft, used when speed matters more than cost.
Packages sent by air shipping arrive faster than those by sea or ground, making it standard for urgent deliveries, perishables, and high-value items: We paid extra for air shipping to meet the deadline.
Also called air freight.
