When the holiday season hits, especially around Christmas, Black Friday, Easter, etc UK businesses face overwhelming demand, tight delivery windows and logistical bottlenecks. Managing peak season logistics is key to on-time deliveries, customer satisfaction and avoiding costly delays. One of the best ways to overcome these challenges is with a well-planned air cargo strategy.
Here’s how UK businesses can streamline their operations during busy periods with the help of experienced partners like 121 Air Sea Cargo:
Book Air Freight Early
During peak seasons, air slots fill up fast. To avoid delays and inflated freight costs, book your air freight services well in advance. Early booking not only guarantees space but also better rates than last minute booking.
At 121 Air Sea Cargo we help businesses plan ahead, offering flexible booking options and guaranteed space during peak periods including Christmas, Black Friday week and New Year.
Prioritise High Value and Time Critical Goods
Not everything needs to be shipped by air. Businesses should assess their inventory and prioritise goods that are high value, perishable or time sensitive. Use air cargo for premium products and items tied to promotional events or strict delivery schedules, and move non-urgent goods by sea or road.
Our team will help you determine the best mix of transportation modes, so your urgent items arrive on time without overspending.
Work with an Experienced Shipping Agent in the UK
Customs, documents and compliance become even more stressful during peak seasons. Partner with a trusted shipping agent in the UK like 121 Air Sea Cargo and get access to expert support, reducing your administrative burden and port delays.
We handle everything from customs clearance to last mile delivery so you can focus on your core business.
Optimise Costs Without Compromising Speed
Air shipping is faster but can be more expensive. During peak seasons rates go up even more. One way to optimise is to consolidate shipments or use deferred air freight services that are slightly slower but much cheaper.
At 121 Air Sea Cargo we offer a range of services including express and economy air freight so you can choose the most cost-effective solution for your needs.
Use Technology for Visibility and Tracking
Knowing where your shipment is at any time is crucial during peak periods. Our GPS enabled tracking systems and IoT powered dashboards give you real time updates on your air cargo so you can communicate with your customers.
