Based on the most traditional lines of an ocean carrier and freight forwarder, airfreight has played an increasingly important part in the carriage of goods for the long established ships agency, formed in the days when manned flight itself was still exploiting the early works of the Montgolfier brothers some sixty years before rather than considering the movement of goods, let alone powered flight.
Airfreight is of course generally now the fastest way to deliver goods, particularly if that means avoiding an ocean crossing, and is particularly useful in the case of high value cargoes and perishable commodities. Despite higher transport rates certain costs can be reduced, packing and insurance for example, and John Good Air believes that there is an expanding market for its services in which the new customs badge will prove invaluable. Seamus Jennings, Managing Director, commented:
“We are delighted to have expanded our range of services following the incorporation of our air freight division, John Good Air. With our own customs badge covering key northern airports, we are looking to establish the company as a leading provider of world-wide airfreight solutions to and from the UK. Our own customs badge will enable us to control cargo at an earlier stage in the supply chain which will benefit our customers by offering greater visibility enabling them to make informed decisions.”
