Air freight solutions

Speed when it matters most

An air option for every deadline and budget, backed by strong airline partnerships and a global agent network, with one person keeping you posted at every step.

Express air freight

When speed is critical, priority air cargo keeps your urgent, high-value or time-sensitive shipments moving.

Standard air freight

Cost-effective standard and consolidated air services that balance speed and price for less urgent cargo.

Specialist & project cargo

Unusual, oversized or multi-leg shipments planned and managed so the whole move stays on track.

Careful with sensitive cargo

High-value, fragile and sensitive goods handled with the care and attention they need, end to end.

Worldwide reach

A trusted global agent network moves your cargo on the routes you need, wherever it's flying to or from.

Why CMI

Why time-critical shippers fly with CMI

When cargo is flying there is no slack for a missing document or a hand-off to a broker who has not seen the file. Here is how we keep urgent freight moving from collection to landing.

  • Independent UK forwarder
  • Est. 2009
  • UK-wide collections
  • AEO customs team
  • One person who knows you

    The same specialist looks after your account from day one. They know your commodity codes, routing and commercial terms before you pick up the phone, and they don't get swapped out on you.

  • Customs on the same desk

    Import and export entries, NCTS transit and ENS declarations are filed in-house by our AEO customs team, not handed to a third-party broker.

  • Lane specialists since 2009

    Independent and UK-based, running daily Ireland departures and scheduled EU lanes from our own hub, with a team that has spent decades on these exact routes.

  • Written quotes up front

    Every rate is confirmed in writing before anything is booked, so you know the delivered cost before you commit, with no minimums buried in the small print.
