The Importance of Time-Sensitive Air Freight Shipping Services in Alaska

With its vast landscape and challenging terrain, Alaska presents unique logistical hurdles. While other transit methods may be viable in some cases, time-sensitive shipments often demand the speed and reliability of air freight services. This is especially true for critical sectors like healthcare, perishables, and emergency supplies.

Healthcare

Timely delivery of life-saving medications and medical supplies is critical in remote Alaskan communities, especially those not accessible by road or water. Air freight ensures that patients in need receive critical care, regardless of their location. In fact, in 2021, Alaska Air Forwarding shipped specialized medical equipment to a remote area of Alaska during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Perishables

Alaska's vibrant seafood industry relies on air freight to quickly transport perishable goods to markets. Some examples include fresh salmon, halibut, cod, and live crab. Air shipments increase the likelihood that products maintain food safety standards and the high-quality levels that Alaska is known for.

For Alaskan businesses that rely on the timely delivery of perishable goods, such as flowers and grocery items, air freight can help meet those customer demands, too.

Emergency Supplies

Alaskans in many industries have situations that call for critical replacement parts or time-sensitive deliveries, including construction, fishing, engineering, government, entertainment, and others. Air freight is also vital in delivering food, water, medical equipment, and emergency personnel to affected communities during natural disasters.
