Shipping from Canada to India by air
Looking to move cargo quickly and reliably between Canada and India? Air freight is the fastest and safest logistics option for businesses that value time, transparency, and control. From urgent spare parts to temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals, air shipping ensures your goods reach India in just a few days—minimizing delays and supply chain risks. In this guide from ASIANIA LOGISTIKA PRIVATE LIMITED, we cover everything you need to know about the air freight cost from Canada to India, key pricing factors, ideal cargo types, transit times, and how to ship smarter.
How Much Does Air Freight from Canada to India Cost?
Estimated Cost: From $5 to $9 per kilogram, depending on cargo size, urgency, and service type.
We calculate costs based on actual or volumetric weight, service level (express vs. economy), handling requirements, and departure/arrival airports. All quotes are all-inclusive and transparent—covering pickup, documentation, freight charges, customs handling, and delivery if needed.
Example:
• 100 kg of electronics from Toronto to Delhi → $650–$850
• 50 kg of pharma (cold chain) from Vancouver to Bangalore → $800–$1,100
What Influences the Final Shipping Cost?
Each shipment is unique, but these are the core pricing factors:
Chargeable Weight
Airlines charge based on the greater of actual or dimensional weight. Oversized packaging increases costs even if the cargo is light. Optimizing box size = real savings.
Type of Cargo
Sensitive goods—like batteries, chemicals, or refrigerated items—require special handling or clearance, which adds cost. We provide guidance on how to declare and prepare these shipments.
Urgency & Speed
Express air freight offers faster delivery (2–4 days) but comes at a premium. Economy or consolidated freight (5–8 days) is more affordable and best for non-urgent cargo.
Airport Pairing & Routing
Shipping to or from high-volume airports (e.g., Toronto–Delhi) is cheaper than low-frequency routes (e.g., Vancouver–Chennai). Direct flights = faster and more predictable.
Peak Season Demand
During busy seasons (Diwali, Q4, Lunar New Year), rates can rise 20–40%. Early booking secures space and avoids surcharge spikes.
