Air Freight Service

UB Cargo Nepal’s air freight portfolio is as diverse as Kathmandu’s cultural tapestry, catering to every conceivable need with precision and professionalism. At the core of our offerings is international air cargo forwarding, where we handle shipments to over 100 destinations worldwide.

From the United States and Australia to Japan, South Korea, and the European Union, our routes are optimized for frequency and reliability. For businesses in Kathmandu’s tourism sector, we specialize in exporting promotional materials or equipment ahead of global trade fairs, ensuring arrivals align perfectly with event schedules.

Our door-to-door air freight service eliminates hassles, starting with complimentary pickups from your doorstep in Kathmandu or Pokhara, followed by secure packaging at our Samakoshi Marg facility. We use robust, customizable crates for fragile items like Tibetan singing bowls or electronic components, and provide insurance coverage up to full shipment value.

Once airborne, real-time GPS tracking via our user-friendly app keeps you informed, from takeoff at KTM to touchdown at JFK or Heathrow.

For specialized needs, UB Cargo Nepal excels in perishable and temperature-controlled air freight. Nepal’s rich biodiversity means high demand for exporting fresh fruits, vegetables, and dairy. Our refrigerated containers maintain exact temperatures during transit, preserving quality for markets in Dubai or Singapore. We also manage dangerous goods (DG) shipments, such as chemicals for industrial use, adhering strictly to ICAO and IATA regulations to ensure safety.

Project cargo is another flagship service, ideal for Kathmandu’s infrastructure boom. Whether it’s oversized machinery for hydropower projects or modular components for construction, our team coordinates with airlines for belly-hold or charter options, handling permits and escorts as needed.

We’ve successfully airlifted heavy generators to remote sites in the Terai region via KTM, demonstrating our capability for complex logistics.

Complementing these are express air courier services for documents and small parcels, partnering with DHL and FedEx for next-day deliveries to Asia-Pacific hubs. For cost-conscious shippers, our air consolidation (LCL) merges loads, perfect for exporters of spices, textiles, or handicrafts sharing routes to Europe.

UB Cargo Nepal also provides reverse logistics, facilitating returns or imports back to Kathmandu, streamlining e-commerce operations for platforms like Daraz.

Every service is backed by our in-house customs brokerage, expediting clearances at KTM with expert knowledge of Nepal’s import/export tariffs. With a turnaround time under 24 hours for most declarations, we minimize demurrage fees. Our competitive pricing starting at NPR 875 per kg for UK-bound air cargo includes fuel surcharges and security fees, with no hidden costs.

At UB Cargo Nepal, innovation drives us: we’re piloting drone-assisted last-mile deliveries within Kathmandu Valley for ultra-urgent parcels, setting new benchmarks in Nepali logistics.

Air freight remains the gold standard for time-critical shipments, and in Kathmandu’s dynamic logistics landscape, UB Cargo Nepal excels in harnessing its advantages. Unlike sea or road transport, which can take weeks or months, air freight slashes transit times dramatically, making it ideal for perishable goods like fresh Nepali herbs, dairy products such as ghee, or urgent medical supplies destined for international aid organizations.

In a country where monsoon seasons and mountainous terrain often complicate overland routes, air transport bypasses these hurdles, ensuring reliability even during peak holiday seasons or geopolitical shifts.

One of the key benefits is cost-efficiency for high-value, low-volume cargo. While air freight might seem premium, UB Cargo Nepal optimizes rates through strategic partnerships with leading airlines like Qatar Airways, Emirates, and Turkish Airlines, which operate frequent flights from KTM.

Our consolidated shipments grouping multiple clients’ cargo into one flight can reduce costs by up to 30% compared to dedicated charters, making it accessible for SMEs in Kathmandu’s textile and handicraft industries.

For instance, a recent client exporting pashmina shawls to Canada saved significantly by leveraging our groupage services, arriving in just four days without customs delays.

Speed isn’t the only perk; air freight service Kathmandu enhances security and reduces environmental impact per unit for urgent deliveries. UB Cargo Nepal employs advanced screening technologies compliant with IATA standards, minimizing theft and damage riskscrucial for Nepal’s burgeoning e-commerce sector shipping electronics from Kathmandu to Japan or Korea.

Moreover, our eco-friendly initiatives, such as carbon offset programs for flights, align with global sustainability goals, appealing to environmentally conscious exporters of organic teas and spices.

In Kathmandu, where urban congestion can delay pickups, our dedicated fleet ensures same-day collections from anywhere in the Valley. We also offer temperature-controlled options for sensitive cargo like pharmaceuticals or fresh produce, vital for Nepal’s growing agri-export market.

Choosing air freight with UB Cargo Nepal means accessing a network that understands local nuances, such as navigating Nepal’s customs regulations for restricted items like cultural artifacts, while delivering international-grade service. It’s not just about moving goods; it’s about empowering your business to thrive in a connected world.
