Air freight.
When only speed will do.
When speed is critical, air freight is your ideal option. Track goods in transit on our platform, have the security of predictable booking through our extensive network and ensure optimised value and safety by working with our specialist air freight team. It is also a more reliable transport mode than sea freight, with fewer delays and industrial disruption.
WTA are an AEO-accredited logistics partner, that works to Cargo iQ standards.
Our team works with over 6,000 companies to create personalised air freight solutions. Far faster than sea freight, air forwarding can make a real difference to your business. But air freight can feel off-putting, and many of our customers are nervous about rates, space availability and sustainability.
However, the WTA team extremely closely with all our customers to guide them through these concerns and create solutions for both import and export consignments, along with cross-trade movement across all trade lanes.
"Floataway sells its products around the world and has been doing so for the past 20 years. Each of our shipments is the size of a small car and weighs over a tonne. I've just recently discovered WTA after being let down by another shipping company whom I will no longer be working with.
I always get three quotes, from three separate companies to ensure the best rates, and each time WTA are the fastest to respond and with competitive rates.
I am impressed by their quick, friendly service and will continue to request a quote from WTA Group for all my future needs."

"At Brintons, we despatch carpet all over the world road/sea/air export/import/cross trade and have been dealing with WTA for many, many years. Their service, help, communication, and attention to detail are spot on.
I would highly recommend them to carry carpet as they understand the sensitivity of the product, certainly when it comes to supplying the correct vehicles for collection/direct flight/sea freight options. At Brintons, we also have very high expectations regarding obtaining quotes/information etc. in a very timely fashion, and, I have to say again, no complaints."
