airfreighting
Flying goods overseas
Airfreighting is the transport of goods by aircraft.
The term emphasizes the method of shipment rather than the cargo itself: The company is airfreighting medical supplies to the disaster zone.
Airfreighting offers speed over sea or ground transport but at higher cost, making it practical for urgent, perishable, or high-value items.
