Shipping cost from India to Australia by air

When time, reliability, and control matter most, air freight is the fastest and most efficient option for shipping from India to Australia. Whether you're delivering urgent medical supplies, restocking retail inventory, or fulfilling B2B and eCommerce orders, air shipping ensures fast delivery with minimal disruption. At ASIANIA LOGISTIKA PRIVATE LIMITED, we manage the complete air freight process — from cargo pickup in India to final delivery anywhere in Australia — with transparent pricing, customs compliance, and real-time shipment visibility.

How Air Freight from India to Australia Works

Air freight is fast — but must be precisely coordinated to avoid delays and unnecessary costs. Here's how the process works with ASIANIA LOGISTIKA:

Cargo Pickup & Packaging

We arrange pickup at your warehouse or supplier location and ensure packaging meets IATA and airline-specific standards — reducing volumetric weight and minimizing repackaging risks at the airport.

Cargo Inspection & Weighing

Each shipment is measured and weighed to determine chargeable weight (actual vs. volumetric), which impacts pricing.

Export Customs Clearance in India

We handle full export documentation (commercial invoice, packing list, airway bill, shipping bill, HS code classification) and ensure swift clearance through Indian Customs.

Flight Booking & Cargo Handling

We secure space on direct or connecting cargo flights via major airports in India, matching your cargo’s urgency and specifications.

Import Clearance & Delivery in Australia

Upon arrival, our Australian agents clear your shipment through customs and deliver to your warehouse, distribution center, or final consignee — including Amazon AU or Shopify fulfillment centers.

What Affects the Shipping Cost by Air?

d

Weight & Volume

Airlines charge based on actual or volumetric weight — whichever is higher. Optimizing packaging can lower your per-kg rate.

d

Type of Cargo

Sensitive, perishable, or dangerous goods may incur extra handling and documentation charges.

d

Service Speed

Express service costs more than economy or consolidated air freight.

d

Route & Airline

Direct routes (e.g., Delhi–Sydney) are faster and cheaper than multi-stop flights with transshipment.

Seasonal Demand

Rates can rise during Diwali, Christmas, and end-of-year peak season due to limited cargo capacity.

Typical Air Freight Rates from India to Australia

Rates vary depending on origin, destination, weight, and urgency. Below are average per-kg rates for common routes:

Route

Standard (per kg)

Express (per kg)

Delhi (DEL) → Sydney (SYD)

$3.80–$5.00

$6.20–$7.60

Mumbai (BOM) → Melbourne (MEL)

$3.90–$5.10

$6.30–$7.70

Chennai (MAA) → Brisbane (BNE)

$4.00–$5.20

$6.50–$7.90

Note: For shipments above 500 kg or recurring schedules, we offer contract rates through airline partnerships, often below market averages.

Typical Air Freight Transit Times

Service Type

Estimated Transit Time

Standard Air Freight

5–8 business days

Express Air Freight

2–4 business days

Even standard air freight is significantly faster than sea shipping (which takes 22–35+ days). For industries like fashion, healthcare, electronics, or perishables, air freight protects both lead times and product quality.

  • Fuel Surcharges: Adjusted monthly based on global oil prices
  • Terminal Handling Charges (THC)
  • Customs Brokerage Fees
  • Security Screening Fees
  • Insurance: Optional, but strongly recommended for high-value cargo

Tip: Insurance adds minimal cost but protects against loss, theft, or in-transit damage.
