Shipping from India to UAE by Air
When speed, reliability, and control are essential, air freight is the most efficient way to move goods from India to the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Whether you’re delivering electronics, pharmaceuticals, automotive parts, or urgent eCommerce orders, air shipping ensures your cargo arrives quickly and securely. At ASIANIA LOGISTIKA PRIVATE LIMITED, we manage the complete air shipping process — from pickup in India to final delivery in the UAE — with transparent pricing, end-to-end tracking, and full customs support.
How Air Freight from India to UAE Works
Air shipping requires precise execution at every stage. We coordinate the process to avoid delays and hidden costs.
Cargo Pickup & Packaging
We arrange pickup at your warehouse or supplier location and ensure packaging meets IATA and airline guidelines, minimizing volumetric charges and avoiding repacking delays.
Cargo Inspection & Weighing
Each shipment is measured and weighed to calculate chargeable weight (the higher of actual or volumetric weight).
Export Customs Clearance in India
We handle all export documentation — commercial invoice, packing list, airway bill, HS code classification — to ensure smooth customs processing.
Flight Booking & Cargo Handling
We book space on direct or connecting flights from India’s major airports to key UAE destinations, based on your cargo’s urgency and budget.
Import Clearance & Delivery in UAE
Our local partners in the UAE manage customs clearance and arrange final delivery to your recipient’s warehouse, retail outlet, or fulfillment center.
What Affects the Air Shipping Cost?

Weight and Volume
Airlines charge by the higher of actual or volumetric weight. Optimized packaging lowers costs.

Cargo Type
Dangerous goods, temperature-sensitive items, or high-value cargo may require special handling and incur extra fees.

Service Level
Express shipping is more expensive but delivers faster; standard/economy air freight is best for less urgent cargo.

Flight Routing
Direct flights (e.g., Delhi–Dubai) are faster and generally more economical. Indirect routes may increase both time and cost.

Seasonal Demand
Rates can rise ahead of peak periods such as Diwali, Ramadan, and Q4 holidays.

Typical Air Freight Rates from India to UAE
Rates depend on origin, destination, shipment size, and urgency.
Route | Standard (per kg) | Express (per kg) |
Delhi (DEL) → Dubai (DXB) | $2.60–$3.80 | $4.20–$5.30 |
Mumbai (BOM) → Abu Dhabi (AUH) | $2.70–$3.90 | $4.40–$5.50 |
Chennai (MAA) → Sharjah (SHJ) | $2.80–$4.00 | $4.50–$5.60 |
For shipments over 500 kg or regular volumes, we offer contract rates with volume discounts.
Estimated Air Transit Times
Service Type | Transit Time |
Standard Air Freight | 3–5 business days |
Express Air Freight | 1–3 business days |
Even standard air freight to the UAE is much faster than ocean shipping (7–13 days). For urgent, high-value, or sensitive goods, air transport is the optimal solution.
