When time is more valuable than money: individual air courier instead of consolidated cargo


Parcel delivery by air courier AviaSend

What is air courier delivery and why is it faster than a transport company?


Many people confuse air courier delivery with the work of transport companies that simply ship cargo in the cargo hold of an airplane. Our approach is radically different. Air courier delivery (or baggage escort) is a VIP shipping method where the courier flies on the same flight as your cargo, ensuring its complete safety and speed.

Here are the key differences between air courier delivery and standard shipping by transport companies:

  • Delivery Speed. The shipping company consolidates the cargo, spends time on warehouse processing, customs clearance (if required), and waiting for the next scheduled flight. This takes 5 to 10 days. Our air courier departs on the next available flight (including charter flights) and personally delivers the package to the recipient immediately upon arrival. Delivery takes an average of 6 to 12 hours.
  • Hand-to-hand security. When shipping via a transport company, the cargo passes through several warehouses and dozens of sorting stations, increasing the risk of theft or damage. Our courier remains with the package from the moment it is received until it is delivered to the recipient.
  • Complex routes. Shipping companies often work exclusively on high-volume freight flows. We deliver to any city and any country accessible by passenger aircraft. If the plane is flying there, your package will be too.
  • No rigid packaging. Often, for urgent delivery, the original packaging or envelope is sufficient, as the shipment travels as carry-on baggage, not in the cargo hold.

What parcels can be sent by air courier?


This service is designed for shipping non-commercial shipments that fit within airline baggage and carry-on baggage allowances. This is the ideal solution for:

  • Urgent documents (contracts, tenders, original licenses).
  • Product samples for exhibitions or clients.
  • Spare parts for discontinued production.
  • Personal items forgotten at a hotel or on a business trip.
  • Gifts and surprises.
  • Medicines and pharmaceuticals approved for international transport.

Important: We do not ship commercial quantities (bulk cargo), goods for sale, or consignments requiring customs declaration as commercial cargo. Delivery is carried out strictly within the airline's baggage allowance, just as if you were flying yourself.

Air courier baggage and carry-on allowances


To ensure your package is delivered by courier, its weight and dimensions must comply with strict air carrier regulations. We deliver via all major international and Russian airlines. Please use the following parameters as a guide:

Carry-on baggage (fastest option, cargo travels in the cabin with the air courier):

  • Most international and Russian airlines (Aeroflot, S7, Emirates, Turkish Airlines): One piece up to 8-10 kg, the sum of three dimensions (length + width + height) no more than 115-125 cm. (For example, 55x40x20 cm).
  • Low-cost airlines (Pobeda, etc.): The standards are stricter - one piece up to 5 kg, dimensions no more than 36x30x27 cm.

Checked baggage (for larger parcels):

  • Economy Class: A standard piece of baggage typically weighs 20-23 kg. Dimensions: the sum of three dimensions up to 158 cm.
  • Business Class: One piece can weigh up to 32 kg.

Cargo Consolidation:: If you need to ship a shipment weighing up to 30-40 kg, our courier can pay for a second piece of baggage or upgrade your service class to increase the baggage allowance. We consider all these details individually to offer you the best speed and price.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

How long does delivery take? By air courier?

Delivery time is calculated from the moment our courier receives the parcel. If we pick up the shipment in Moscow and send it by flight to Europe, the recipient in Paris can pick it up in 7-12 hours. On average, worldwide delivery takes 8 to 24 hours, depending on the flight schedule and the distance to the destination airport.

Do you really deliver to any city? For example, to a small town in Brazil?

Yes, we deliver to any location. An air courier flies a main flight to a major hub (for example, São Paulo), and then delivers the package by ground transport or, if necessary, a domestic regional flight. The main requirement is the availability of an airport that accepts passenger flights.

What does "hand-to-hand delivery" mean? Is it safe?

This means that the courier personally receives the shipment from you (or picks it up from your specified location) and takes full responsibility for it. At the destination airport (or at the final address), the courier meets the recipient, checks their documents, and only then delivers the package. This eliminates the risk of handing over the cargo to unauthorized persons.

What are the maximum weight and dimensions of parcels you accept for delivery?

We work within the regulations of passenger airlines. The standard limit for one piece is 32 kg (the maximum weight that can be loaded into the passenger cabin by baggage handlers). If the weight exceeds 32 kg, the shipment must be split into several pieces or delivery by multiple air couriers must be considered.

Does this package have tracking like courier services?

Yes, you have full control. We provide you with the flight number, departure and arrival times. You are always in touch with your personal manager and the courier. In some cases, even on the plane. You know for sure that your package has boarded and arrived at its destination.

Do I need to take the parcel to the airport myself?

As you prefer. Our air courier can come to your office, apartment, or any convenient location in the departure city. The recipient also has the option of "door-to-door delivery" by air courier in the arrival city.

Do you assist with customs? After all, the parcel crosses the border.

No. Since the cargo is accompanied by a passenger (our air courier), it crosses the border through the "green corridor" as personal baggage. We do not ship goods subject to declaration.

Do you ship liquids, electronics, or food?

Yes, but airline security regulations apply. For example, liquids in carry-on baggage are limited to 100 ml. You can carry more in checked baggage, but flammable substances are prohibited. We check every shipment for compliance with passenger air transport regulations and always adhere to the rules for importing food products into the destination country.

Which is cheaper: air courier or DHL/FedEx express mail?

For extremely urgent shipments (needed "yesterday" or today), air courier is often more cost-effective and faster, as express services add a surcharge for urgency. For shipments that can wait 3-4 days, standard services may be cheaper. We always offer the best option for your budget and timeframe.

How do I request express delivery by air courier?
