Airport to Airport (AtA) shipping is moving cargo directly from one airport to another. It differs from door-to-door shipping (such as FedEx or UPS) in that the cargo must be delivered to and picked up by the deliverer and the recipient. However, pound for pound, it is a much cheaper way to transport than door-to-door shipping, even if you include the cost of a third-party trucking company that can drop off and pick up the delivery.
Airport to Airport shipping uses cargo terminals near airports to collect the cargo, usually delivered from trucking companies or some other third-party delivery service. The cargo is transported to a central hub, such as DFW International Airport, and then redistributed on subsequent flights around the country or around the world. When the cargo arrives at its destination, the recipient is notified and told to pick up the cargo from the airport warehouse.
We Guarantee the Flight You Choose
We know that your cargo is precious and that you want to make sure the right material is delivered to the right place. We have a logistics team that meticulously tracks each and every package to make sure that it arrives safe and sound. But just to give you that extra bit of assurance, we guarantee to put your cargo on the flight that you choose from the selection that we present to you. We want to make sure that you’re happy with the entire experience, so we’ll accommodate any preference that you have.
Approved GPS and Tracking Devices
Your package is tracked not just by the flight that it’s on, but by GPS on the package itself. Each item is monitored by satellite tracking via 24 satellites around the world and their stations on the ground. Today, GPS is everywhere, not just in planes and cars, but in our phones and watches. It’s easier than ever to identify exactly where your package is at all times and be assured that it is correctly on its route to the perfect destination. And GPS tells you more than just the location of the tracking unit, but the real-time speed and direction it’s traveling as well.
But GPS tracking is about so much more than just giving you peace of mind. GPS gives our logistics teams real-time data that we can use to direct and re-direct flights to allow planes to be more efficient, which not only gets your cargo to you faster but also with less waste and therefore cheaper. There are fewer mistakes, lower logistics costs, and better cost analysis. All of this means that Airport-to-Airport shipping is going to be faster and less expensive for the shipper.
