Shipping from Australia to India by Air
Need to move cargo quickly from Australia to India? Air freight is the most efficient way to ship time-sensitive goods between these two regions. Whether you're transporting high-value electronics, pharmaceuticals, or urgent industrial components, air freight offers unmatched speed, security, and reliability. In this guide from ASIANIA LOGISTIKA PRIVATE LIMITED, we explain what affects air freight pricing from Australia to India, typical rates, key transit routes, and what’s included in our logistics services.
How Much Does Air Freight from Australia to India Cost?
Estimated Cost: From $5 to $10 per kilogram, based on cargo type, size, and urgency.
Rates vary depending on the service level (express vs. economy), origin and destination airports, and required handling.
Examples:
- 150 kg of machinery parts from Sydney to Mumbai → $1,000–$1,300
- 70 kg of cold-chain medical goods from Melbourne to Delhi → $1,100–$1,400
All quotes include pickup, documentation, airline charges, customs handling, and optional delivery in India.
Key Pricing Factors
Chargeable Weight
Airlines charge based on actual vs. volumetric weight—whichever is greater. Efficient packaging reduces cost.
Type of Cargo
Sensitive goods (e.g., temperature-controlled, hazardous materials) require extra handling and documentation.
Urgency & Speed
Express Air Freight: 2–4 days, premium pricing. Standard/Consolidated Air Freight: 5–8 days, more cost-efficient.
Airport Pairing & Routing
Major airport pairs (e.g., Sydney–Delhi) are faster and cheaper than low-frequency routes.
Peak Season Demand
During peak periods (e.g., Diwali, Q4 rush), rates can increase 20–40%. Early planning reduces cost risk.
