PlusZero Air Freight
We quickly transport your perishables and keep them cold during the journey.
Our air freight service is designed for urgent and sensitive cargo. Timing and temperature matter.
Whether you’re shipping soft fruit, fresh flowers, or premium seafood, we know how tight the delivery window can be. With air freight, every hour counts and every degree matters.
However, general air cargo services often aren’t suitable for perishables. Delays, missed bookings, or exposure on the tarmac can ruin a perfectly good shipment. That’s where we come in.
At Plus0, we specialise in temperature-controlled air freight that moves quickly, stays compliant, and protects the value of your goods from collection to destination. This includes reliable perishable air freight solutions. From securing space on the right flight to managing final-mile delivery, we handle every step so you don’t have to.
