Use air when dedicated road (1–4 days) is still too slow for samples, spares or a store opening. Indicative air is AED 12–28 / kg, chargeable kg = higher of actual vs L×W×H cm ÷ 5000. Road remains the honest mode for furniture cube. This page is the Air Freight brief from Ras Al Khor — neighbouring URLs are different jobs.
| Mode | Typical window | How it actually runs |
|---|---|---|
| Dedicated FTL (closed truck / trailer) | 1–4 days | Leaves when this consignment is ready |
| LTL / groupage | 2–6 days | Name the country — GCC is not one departure |
| Air freight | 24–48 hours into RUH, JED, DMM, DOH, MCT, KWI or BAH | DXB / DWC origin; destination airport named on the booking |
| Sea freight | Jebel Ali to Jeddah, King Abdullah, Dammam and other GCC ports | Jebel Ali origin; destination port named on the booking |
Clock starts after packing and papers pass intake in Dubai, not when you send a WhatsApp.
| Charge basis | Indicative band | Use when |
|---|---|---|
| LTL / groupage per CBM | AED 160–420 / CBM | Cartons and pallets that can share a trailer |
| Dedicated 3-ton closed | AED 1,800–5,200 | Furniture, villa pieces, streets that reject a trailer |
| Dedicated 12 m trailer | AED 3,500–10,500 | You fill the box, or the date cannot wait for groupage |
| Air, per chargeable kg | AED 12–28 / kg | Samples, spares, a fixed opening date |
Indicative 2026 operator bands for mixed commercial cargo, door-to-warehouse, complete papers. Confirm at the Ras Al Khor scale. Villa towers, SABER holds, packing labour and weekend borders sit outside the band.
Air cargo to DXB / DWC origin; destination airport named on the booking
Air is DXB or DWC to the airport that serves the city you name — not a generic GCC flight.
When road still wins
If the cargo is bulky and the date is flexible, dedicated road (1–4 days) is usually the honest rate. Air is for time and density, not for filling a trailer toward GCC.
Airport used for GCC
Air is DXB or DWC to the airport that serves the city you name — not a generic GCC flight.
Door versus airport handover
Door-to-door includes the GCC truck after the flight. Door-to-airport is cheaper if your agent clears at DXB / DWC origin; destination airport named on the booking. Chargeable kg is actual vs volumetric (÷5000).
When we will tell you to use road instead
Furniture cube and light bulky cartons burn air money. If the date can live with 1–4 days, road is the honest quote.
