OUR AIR FREIGHT SOLUTIONS: CONSOLIDATED AND BACK-TO-BACK
We offer the following services:
1. Goods as consolidated groupage consignments
When consolidating goods, several deliveries for a destination airport are combined and bundled on Röhlig's own pallets or containers (ULD - Unit Load Devices). We deliver to international hotspots on all continents several times a week, offering reliable routing security. Through consolidation, we get the optimum cost and time savings for you.
2. Back-to-back Air Freight
Not all goods can be consolidated. Certain goods must be transported particularly quickly or cannot be flown as consolidated consignments due to their characteristics (temperature-controlled, dangerous goods). In these cases, the goods are sent as individual consignments. We offer back-to-back freight solutions so that we can provide you with the best possible freight rates.
3. Heavy cargo as air freight
We also offer an air freight service for oversized and overweight goods. Here are some of our previous projects:
- 2015: Generator and parts (gross weight 84 tonnes).
Routing: Vitoria-Gasteiz (VIT) - Madrid (MAD) - Accra (ACC)
- 2013: Steam turbine (gross weight 23 tons)
Routing: Bremen (BRE) - Frankfurt (FRA) - Shanghai (PVG)

The cost of air freight transport depends on various factors and must be determined on a case-by-case basis. Basically, the distance of the route to be covered, the desired transit time as well as the size and weight of the individual consignment influence the total costs. The gross tonnage and the volume weight are compared and the higher value is used as the basis for the calculation.
Furthermore, supply and demand on the global market also plays a role in the cost calculation.
The cost of an air freight transport are therefore always dependent on the following parameters:
- Relation
- Size and weight of the shipment
- Nature of the goods / commodity
- Market situation at different times of the year / peak season
There is no minimum quantity for transport by air freight. However, there are certain flat rates that are more significant in percentage terms for smaller, lighter consignments than heavier ones.
As a general rule, the air freight rate per kg decreases as the weight of the shipment increases in the individual weight classes.
Yes, we offer both full and partial Air Freight Charter solutions for your air freight transport. There is also the possibility of using passenger aircraft converted into freighters, a so-called "Prachter".
Together with our partners, it is possible for us to organise such a solution from any airport and make you a tailor-made offer.
Of course, we organise your transports by air freight worldwide. With our own stations and the help of a strong network of reliable partners, your global delivery by air freight is possible for us. Find contact persons from our network at 30 different locations now.
