Global Trade, Simplified with Clarity and Control

When you ship with Airlift, you get more than a forwarder—you get a licensed NVOCC with decades of experience and a platform built for clarity. Real-time visibility, faster decisions, and end-to-end control come standard.

We’re expanding to serve you better—with offices in India, Vietnam, and the USA, and a strong network of agents across South & Southeast Asia. This gives you reliable access on the South Asia–USA trade lane while keeping you connected to all major global routes.

Because we negotiate directly with carriers, you benefit from secured space, competitive rates, and routing flexibility that traditional forwarders can’t offer. Transparent pricing and smarter solutions keep your supply chain moving without surprises.

Whether scaling into new markets or streamlining daily operations, Airlift gives you the tools, people, and support to stay in control at every step.
