What delivery time frame for this France-Hong Kong priority shipment?
Delivered 3 days faster than standard freight!

ATC®’s added value for your urgent shipments:
- Handling setbacks at Paris CDG: As the cargo was handed over to the airline, it turned out that the handling company no longer operated on weekends. Without Air Time Critical®’s intervention, loading of the goods would have been postponed to the Monday.
- Plan B: Air Time Critical® decided to commission and pay for another handling company operating on weekends, so that the goods could be loaded onto the scheduled flight whatever the cost.
- Outcome: The cargo entrusted to Air Time Critical® was loaded onto the scheduled flight and left on the Saturday without any delay. The remainder of the cargo handed over to other air freight forwarders at Roissy airport on the Friday was stored until the Monday when the usual handling agent reopened (2 days’ delay).
Air Time Critical® provides dedicated tracking for each shipment and tackles any setback promptly. Such responsiveness compensates most delays or at the very least minimises them. This premium tracking service offers customers an additional guarantee of reliability.
