Airport-to-Airport • South Africa
Airport-to-Airport Air Freight South Africa – Fly Your Flowers & Freight Fast
Lowensvlei Flower Farm connects your parcels, flowers, bulbs and perishables
to major South African airports in hours.
Built for growers, florists, and businesses that can’t wait for slow road couriers.
Our airport-to-airport air freight services in South Africa give you a dedicated lane for
flowers, bulbs, plants and urgent parcels between major airports. Whether you’re moving stock from
Cape Town to Johannesburg, Durban, Gqeberha, East London, George or Bloemfontein, we help you bypass
slow road routes with fast, reliable domestic air cargo.
Why Choose Airport-to-Airport Air Freight?
When you’re shipping flowers, bulbs, plants or urgent parcels, every hour counts.
Traditional couriers move by road and via multiple hubs; our air freight option
flies your shipment directly into the destination airport cargo terminal.
If you prefer traditional road-based delivery, you can also use our
Flower Courier South Africa
service for temperature-controlled overnight deliveries.
Speed for Serious Deadlines
Same-day or next-day delivery between major South African cities, depending on
flight schedules. Perfect when you have fixed event dates, auction times or
critical business cut-offs.
Perishable-Friendly Handling
Your shipment moves on services designed for perishables and time-sensitive
freight – the same ecosystem used for export flowers, fresh produce and other
temperature-sensitive cargo.
Simple, Transparent Structure
One route, one total – our calculator combines airfreight, security, handling
and fuel components into a single, easy-to-understand estimate. No surprise
add-ons later.

for road transit, this service was built for you.
How the Airport-to-Airport Shipping Process Works
We keep the process simple and predictable, even if you don’t ship cargo every day.
1
Plan your shipment
Choose your from and to airports, and measure the weight and
size of your box or crate.
2
Get an instant estimate
Our calculator (on this page) uses your route, chargeable weight and surcharges
to estimate your total.
3
Secure payment via Paystack
We obtain a pre-authorisation on your card so we can finalise the amount once
the airline confirms the exact chargeable weight.
4
Tender the shipment to the airline
We prepare your freight and hand it in at the departure airport cargo terminal
within the airline’s cut-off times.
5
Collect at destination airport
Your receiver collects the shipment from the cargo facility with ID and the
relevant waybill details.

Choose your airports, enter your parcel details, select Air Freight
(and soon Road Freight), then confirm your booking and pay via
our secure checkout powered by Paystack.
Airport-to-Airport Air Freight vs Standard Courier
Standard couriers move by road, via multiple depots and hubs. Our
airport-to-airport air freight service uses dedicated air cargo channels:
your shipment flies into the destination airport cargo terminal and is collected there.
Use air freight when time and freshness are critical. Use our
Flower Courier South Africa service when overnight road delivery or door-to-door options make more sense.
Frequently Asked Questions
How fast is airport-to-airport shipping?
Most shipments move on the next available flight. Depending on the route
and airline schedules, this usually means same-day or next-day arrival at
the destination airport.
Can you collect from my farm, nursery or business?
Yes – airport-to-airport is the core service, but we can arrange collection
from your premises or delivery to your customer at an additional charge.
Is this suitable for flowers, bulbs and other perishables?
Absolutely. The service is designed around perishable and time-sensitive
cargo, with handling standards aligned to the export flower and fresh-produce
industry. It is ideal for cut flowers, bulbs, tubers, plants and similar items.
What if my final weight or dimensions are different to my quote?
We use Paystack to obtain a pre-authorisation for your estimated amount.
Once the airline confirms the final chargeable weight (actual or volumetric),
we adjust the amount within that authorisation – no need to share your
card details again.
Can you handle dangerous goods?
Some dangerous goods can be moved by air, subject to airline approval,
correct packaging and documentation. Let us know exactly what you want
to ship and we’ll confirm whether it’s allowed and what extra conditions apply.
When will road freight be available?
Road freight is being built into the same calculator and booking flow.
As soon as tariffs are loaded, you’ll see Road Freight as
an option alongside air, allowing you to compare transit time and cost
on the same screen.
