How Airlift moves cargo from Ennore to Saint John

Airlift USA (AIRLIFT (U.S.A.), INC., in business since 1999) moves full containers (FCL) from India to Canada, with LCL and air freight available too. Most containers discharge on the East Coast at Montreal, Halifax or Saint John, or on the West Coast at Vancouver; Prince Rupert is an occasional option, and Toronto, Calgary and other inland points are reached by rail. On Airlift’s sailings departing July 2025 to June 2026, India to Canada took about 40–66 days port to port (P10–P90), typically around 51: Mundra to Montreal 35–66 days, Nhava Sheva to Montreal 42–66, Mundra to Halifax 38–55, Ennore to Saint John 45–55 and Mundra to Vancouver 47–67. Every routing transships, and carrier schedules change. Air freight to Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal takes about 3–5 days airport to airport on nonstop services from Delhi, and longer from Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai and Hyderabad, which connect through a hub.

Origin work on the India–Canada lane runs through Airlift’s own offices in India, mainly Chennai, Ahmedabad, New Delhi, Mumbai, Jaipur and Kolkata, and Airlift’s New Jersey office also books the lane. They handle pickup, the Indian shipping bill and vessel or aircraft booking. Airlift has no office of its own in Canada; licensed agent partners and licensed Canadian customs brokers handle the import entry, rail and delivery. Regular cargo on this lane is full containers of granite, artificial quartz, industrial raw materials and manufactured metal products.

Each range runs from the 10th to the 90th percentile (P10–P90) of Airlift’s own shipments on that port pair, port to port, for sailings that departed between July 1, 2025, and June 30, 2026; a pair is listed when it had at least 10 shipments on 5 or more sailing dates. These are planning ranges, not guaranteed transit times: they vary with carrier rotation and transshipment ports, and the rail leg to Toronto or Calgary comes on top.

Cargo we regularly move on the India to Canada lane: Granite, artificial quartz, industrial raw materials, manufactured metal products; also automotive components, machinery parts, commercial household products, packaging materials.

From pickup to delivery: stages around the ocean leg (45–55 days)

  1. Origin pickup and drayage

    Collection from the shipper and the truck run to the load port or CFS (the warehouse where LCL cargo is consolidated). Timing depends on distance inland, equipment availability and the terminal appointment, so we quote it per shipment. Book it against the carrier cut-off, not the sailing date.

  2. Export clearance and cut-offs

    The export declaration, documents, and the VGM (verified gross mass) and gate cut-offs ahead of the sailing. Cut-offs typically fall several days before ETD and vary by carrier and terminal. Missing one rolls the container to the next sailing — the single most common reason a lane runs long.

  3. Ocean transit (port to port)45–55 days

    The sailing itself, from ETD at the load port to ETA at the discharge port. This is the only stage we put a number on, and that number is typical and schedule-dependent: it shifts with the service string, the number of transshipments and congestion at either end.

  4. Canada import clearance and release

    Customs entry and release after the vessel arrives, filed through a licensed customs broker in Canada. A clean entry filed in advance often clears around arrival; an exam or a classification query adds time no schedule can predict.

  5. Terminal release and final delivery

    The container becomes available at the terminal; then chassis, appointment, and the drayage or line-haul to the consignee. Free time at the terminal runs out, so book the delivery appointment before the vessel berths, not after.
