2. Reliable with multiple flights and choice of carriers each day;
3. High level of security with reduced risk of theft and damage;
4. Less packaging required reducing cost;
5. Generally lower insurance premiums compared with ocean freight;
6. Flexibility to meet changing needs at short notice;
7. Best mode of transport for perishable goods;
8. Potential to create competitive advantages

On receiving its customs badge at Heathrow, Seamus Jennings, Managing Director, said: “We are delighted to be able to continue to expand our range of services having established our air freight division, John Good Air, back in January. With our own customs badge covering one of the world’s most important airports, London Heathrow, we will be able to control cargo at an earlier stage in the supply chain which will benefit our customers by offering greater visibility enabling them to make informed decisions.”
