Air Cargo & Air Freight in Lagos
Priority, consolidated, and charter air solutions with global carrier partnerships for cargo that simply has to arrive on time.
When cargo has to arrive in days rather than weeks, air freight is the answer. Flaming Integrated Logistiks books air cargo to and from Lagos, prepares the airway bill and documents, clears the shipment at the airport and delivers it to your door.
We handle everything from a few kilos of samples or spare parts to palletised consignments, using scheduled airlines and consolidated services, with charter options for exceptional cargo.
What's included
Air cargo through Murtala Muhammed International Airport
International air cargo for Lagos is handled at the cargo terminals of Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) in Ikeja, close to our office. We coordinate with the ground handling companies there for arrival, Customs examination and release, so urgent shipments are not left waiting in the shed.
Air freight is priced on chargeable weight: the greater of the actual weight and the volumetric weight (length × width × height in cm ÷ 6,000). Light but bulky cargo can cost more than you expect, so we advise on packing to keep the chargeable weight down.
