Shipping Cost from India to Malaysia by Air
When time is critical and your cargo needs to reach Malaysia quickly and safely, air freight remains the fastest and most secure option. From electronics and pharmaceuticals to auto parts and urgent manufacturing components, businesses across sectors depend on air shipping to meet production schedules, launch dates, and customer expectations. At ASIANIA LOGISTIKA, we handle every aspect of the air freight journey — from pickup at your supplier’s site in India to final delivery in Malaysia — ensuring your cargo arrives on time and without complications. Here’s everything you need to know about air freight shipping costs and timelines from India to Malaysia.
How Air Freight from India to Malaysia Works
Air freight involves multiple coordinated steps beyond simply booking space on a flight:
For sensitive or regulated goods (e.g., pharma, batteries), our team ensures all handling and compliance procedures are followed.
What Affects the Shipping Cost by Air?
Cargo Size & Weight
Charges are based on actual or volumetric weight — whichever is greater.
Cargo Type
Fragile, temperature-sensitive, or dangerous goods may require extra handling.
Route & Flight Type
Direct flights (e.g., Delhi → Kuala Lumpur) are faster and more cost-effective.
Service Level
Express air freight commands higher rates but shorter delivery times.
Seasonality & Demand
Prices rise during Diwali, Ramadan, or end-of-year peaks due to limited space.
Example: Shipping electronics during Diwali can increase costs by 20–30% due to demand spikes and space constraints. At ASIANIA LOGISTIKA, we help you plan smart — recommending optimal routes, consolidation, and timing to reduce costs while maintaining reliability.
Typical Air Freight Rates from India to Malaysia
Route | Standard Service (per kg) | Express Service (per kg) |
Delhi (DEL) → Kuala Lumpur (KUL) | $2.80–$3.60 | $4.80–$6.00 |
Mumbai (BOM) → Penang (PEN) | $2.70–$3.50 | $4.70–$5.80 |
Chennai (MAA) → Johor Bahru (JHB) | $2.90–$3.70 | $4.90–$6.10 |
Note: Shipments over 500 kg may qualify for lower volume-based rates. We negotiate directly with carriers to secure preferred pricing and priority space, even during high-demand periods.
Typical Air Freight Transit Times
Service Type | Transit Time |
Standard Air Freight | 2–4 business days |
Express Air Freight | 1–2 business days (door-to-door) |
Even standard air freight is significantly faster than sea freight (which typically takes 10–16 days).
For urgent shipments, express services provide guaranteed timelines, ideal for time-sensitive supply chains.

Extra Costs to Consider
In addition to per-kg freight charges, some standard surcharges may apply:
- Fuel Surcharges (adjusted monthly)
- Terminal Handling Charges (THC)
- Security Screening & X-ray Fees
- Customs Brokerage Fees (India & Malaysia)
- Insurance (recommended for cargo over $5,000)
Pro Tip: Always insure your cargo. Air freight is safe, but losses and delays do happen — especially with sensitive or high-value goods.
How to Save on Air Freight Costs from India to Malaysia
Cost-efficient air shipping is possible with the right strategy:
- Book in Advance: Avoid express surcharges and secure best rates
- Consolidate Shipments: Combine smaller shipments into larger loads
- Optimize Packaging: Lower volumetric weight = lower cost
- Flexible Transit Options: If possible, opt for slower standard service
- Use FCL for Regular Flows: If air isn’t urgent, consider parallel ocean shipments for base volume and air for replenishment
